2002 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · CV02 AEE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 May 2025 at 78,988 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a single failure occurred on 28 April 2023 at 62,977 miles, the immediate pass the following day suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly, and the vehicle has maintained clean records since. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,291 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2025, the car covered 22,753 miles, representing a steady usage of roughly 7,500 miles annually. This low usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short trips or remained stationary for extended periods, which typically limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, long periods of stationary use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and brake corrosion which are not reflected in mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as low-mileage older Fords are prone to hidden rust in the sills and wheel arches. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle means that suspension bushes and coil springs may have perished from age regardless of distance traveled. Inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting or seized calipers, as low mileage often results in surface corrosion if the car is not driven frequently.
