2019 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FJ69 OTL

The vehicle carries a clean MOT record with no recorded failures or advisories across the four tests captured in the DVSA data, with the most recent pass issued on 13 September 2025 at 29,857 miles. There is no inspection point on file from the past twelve months, as the current date is 30 August 2026 and the next annual test would not be due until mid-September. Against that baseline, the maintenance trend visible in the record is stable, showing four consecutive passes with no recorded defects of any category, whether minor or major. Buyers should be mindful that the absence of advisories only confirms the tester found nothing reportable at the time of examination and does not, in itself, demonstrate ongoing mechanical soundness. Over the seven-year life of this 2019 Ford Ka, the odometer has advanced to 29,857 miles, which equates to roughly 4,265 miles per year. This is unusually low for the age of the car and points to either very light usage, extended periods of inactivity, or possibly extended gaps between journeys. Standing for prolonged periods can dry out internal seals, flatten suspension bushes, allow brake calipers to bind or seize, and promote surface oxidation on underbody components, none of which would necessarily surface in a clean MOT pass. Conversely, the 2022 to 2025 mileage gap reflects only about three tests across three years, so the record offers a narrow window into the vehicle's wear pattern. A prospective buyer should therefore carry out a physical inspection regardless of the unblemished paperwork. Check the rear and front brake calipers for binding or corrosion, particularly given the low mileage which can accelerate seized mechanisms. Examine the coil springs, shock absorbers, and suspension bushes for sagging or perishing, and inspect the underbody and wheel arches for early structural corrosion around load-bearing seams. Look at the tyre sidewalls for cracking from age-related rubber degradation rather than just tread depth, and test the exhaust for blowing joints and worn mountings. Finally, verify fluid condition, battery health, and the operation of the cooling system, as long idle periods often mask cooling and electrical deterioration that a statutory test does not cover. Buying-score: 72, risk-level: Low. The record shows a stable, defect-free history, though the low annual mileage warrants a hands-on mechanical check before purchase.
