2007 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · BT57 WXR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on 23 March 2026 at 149,456 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs, where the owner consistently addresses faults only after an immediate test failure. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the initial inspection just days before a passing result. This suggests that the owner performs the minimum legal requirements to keep the vehicle moving rather than conducting preventative maintenance to avoid testing failures. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 149,456 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,866 miles, which aligns with typical usage for an older city car. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with 12,000 miles covered between April 2024 and March 2025, and another 6,168 miles covered between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady use indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and moving components, though the high total mileage places significant strain on the aging platform. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and lower suspension components, as the MOT record does not detail the specific reasons for the two recent failures. Given the age of this Ford Ka, structural corrosion in the sills, rear floor pans, and wheel arches is a critical concern that often leads to test failures. The buyer should also check for excessive wear on suspension bushes and play in the ball joints, as the history of immediate failures suggests that components are frequently reaching the end of their functional life.
