2006 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · EN06 FJO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history shows inconsistent testing patterns. The most recent test on 14 May 2025 at 73,083 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, which is an irregular entry likely indicating an administrative error or a technical failure that was not detailed. However, the vehicle passed its 2024 and 2023 tests without advisories, suggesting that the core mechanical components have met functional standards over the last several years. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,654 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between April 2023 at 46,670 miles and May 2024 at 61,386 miles, where the car covered over 14,000 miles in just thirteen months. This suggests a period of heavy use followed by a return to low annual mileage. Low annual mileage often increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, seals, and fluids, which can perish regardless of the distance on the odometer. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and wheel arches for hidden corrosion, as this model is prone to structural rust. Given the low mileage and age, examine the suspension bushes and shock absorbers for cracking or seizing from periods of inactivity. The brake system should also be checked for binding calipers or corroded discs, as vehicles that sit infrequently often suffer from surface rust and seized piston pins.
