2008 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · BF58 AAY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by its most recent clean MOT result. The test conducted on 23 April 2025 at 22,023 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This result confirms a positive maintenance trend following a failure in September 2024, suggesting that the owner was willing to rectify any identified issues before the subsequent re-test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,224 miles per year. Between September 2022 and April 2025, the car covered only 1,558 miles, showing a history of infrequent use or extended storage. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can mask issues related to vehicle sitting stationary. The jump of 1,067 miles between October 2024 and April 2025 represents the highest active period recorded for the vehicle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas affected by low-mileage, long-term storage. Despite the clean record, the Ford Ka is prone to structural corrosion in the sills and wheel arches, which can develop regardless of distance driven. The buyer should also check for seized brake calipers or pitted brake discs, as these often occur when a vehicle remains stationary for long periods. Inspect the tyres for dry cracking on the sidewalls, as age often impacts the rubber components more than tread depth in low-use scenarios.
