2004 Ford KA 1.6L Petrol · D4 WMG

The 2004 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy following its most recent DVSA examination. On 8 August 2025 at 25,126 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, after an earlier failed attempt on the same date at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record, with four consecutive passes from August 2022 through August 2025 and no advisories or reported wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 22-year-old car. The odometer rose from 19,338 miles in August 2022 to 21,392 in August 2023, then 23,346 in August 2024, reaching 25,126 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 1,140 miles per year, confirming long-term low usage. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the sequence, and the clean test history suggests the previous keeper stored the car for extended periods yet kept it compliant with annual testing. A buyer should still inspect the Ka in person for age-related corrosion on sills and subframes, as the MOT record notes no structural defects but long standing periods invite hidden rust. Check suspension components for perished bushes or weak coil springs from inactivity, and verify brake calipers are free rather than seized after limited road use. Given the sparse, clean history with no recurring faults, the vehicle implies careful but minimal upkeep by an owner prioritising storage over regular driving. Confirm tyre sidewall condition and flat spots from standing before purchase, as these consumables degrade with time rather than mileage.
