2006 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · FH06 SYX

The 2006 Ford Ka presents a current roadworthy status with a pass recorded at the most recent test on 12 January 2022 at 96,038 miles, showing no defects. The maintenance trend across the supplied record is brief but stable, with the only blemish being a failure two days earlier on 10 January 2022 at 95,991 miles that listed no defects, followed immediately by a clean pass. This suggests an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a worsening mechanical condition. The odometer reads 96,038 miles against a 20-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,800 miles per year, which is low for the age. The record shows only a 47-mile gap between the January 2022 failure and pass, with no earlier entries supplied. Such sparse data and low accumulated mileage imply the car saw light use or prolonged standing, though the absence of historical tests prevents verification of consumable or structural wear before 2022. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related corrosion on structural panels and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record does not cover these beyond the clean 2022 outcome. The Ka's known weak points include front suspension bushes and rear axle beam rust, which a 2006 example may exhibit despite a defect-free test. Given the two-decade age and the stale test date relative to today's July 2026 review, a fresh MOT and physical inspection of brake discs, exhaust emissions, and tyre condition remain prudent before purchase. The prior owner's care appears adequate from the available data, but the long gap since testing leaves mechanical deterioration unmonitored.
