2007 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · AG07 CDK

The 2007 Ford Ka’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-11-11 at 94,961 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the vehicle’s MOT history reveals a pattern of inconsistent compliance, including a failure on 2025-10-28 at the same mileage and prior failures in 2024 and 2023. While the latest test indicates stability, the recurring failures suggest potential maintenance oversights or testing anomalies. The absence of recorded defects in the 2025 pass is positive, but the vehicle’s MOT status is now expired, as the last test predates the current date by over eight months. The vehicle’s mileage of 94,961 miles over 19 years equates to an average of 4,998 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical usage for its age. This low mileage implies infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity, which can exacerbate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, and exhaust systems. Notably, the mileage remained static between 2024-10-23 (94,109 miles) and 2024-10-28 (94,112 miles), suggesting minimal movement between tests. The 2023 test at 92,867 miles shows a gradual increase, but the lack of significant mileage growth raises concerns about potential corrosion or mechanical stiffness from prolonged storage. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage often correlates with neglected servicing. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, common in vehicles with irregular use. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body seams, is critical given the age, as corrosion can develop in stagnant conditions. While the MOT records show no defects, the vehicle’s MOT expiry and low-mileage history necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical and structural soundness.
