2006 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · CF55 WJV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent pass record. The most recent test on 28 November 2023 at 22,269 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met minimum standards. While a single failure occurred on 29 November 2022, the immediate retest the following day suggested a minor issue was quickly rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,113 miles per year. Between October 2020 and November 2023, the car covered only 2,752 miles, confirming a pattern of very light use or extended periods of storage. This low usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, but it introduces specific risks related to the degradation of rubber materials and seized hardware due to lack of regular movement. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis, as Ford Ka models of this era are prone to corrosion that can remain hidden regardless of mileage. The low mileage history often leads to seized brake calipers or surface corrosion on brake discs, which should be checked for free movement. Additionally, the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls require scrutiny for cracking or dry rot, as these components age over time even when the vehicle is rarely driven.
