2008 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · CV58 HRE

The 2008 Ford Ka presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its most recent test. The DVSA record shows a single pass on 3 November 2021 at 57,039 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met minimum legal standards at that time. No worsening or recurring fault trend appears in the data because only one entry exists. The odometer stood at 57,039 miles during the November 2021 test, equating to roughly 3,169 miles per year across the car's eighteen years. This low annual mileage suggests light use or extended periods off the road, though the record shows no earlier tests to confirm a steady accumulation or reveal any gaps. A clean single entry gives no evidence of rapid wear cycles or neglected consumables. A buyer should treat the 2021 pass as historical rather than current. With no test logged since November 2021 and today being 8 July 2026, the Ka has run approximately four years and eight months without a recorded MOT. Previous owner upkeep cannot be judged beyond that pass, and long stationary periods often provoke perished suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake discs or calipers. Prior to purchase, a physical inspection must verify structural integrity for rust, check coil springs and steering joints for age-related fatigue, and confirm brake function after standing. The absence of advisories in 2021 offers no shield against deterioration during the untested interval.
