2003 Ford KA 1.6L Petrol · FL03 AUF

The 2003 Ford Ka presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 10 March 2023 at 56,924 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of mechanical condition, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by swift passes at identical mileages, suggesting administrative or minor pre-check issues rather than worsening faults. The recorded mileage of 56,924 miles against an estimated 23 years of age equates to roughly 2,475 miles per year, indicating light use. Between the 4 February 2022 failure and pass at 48,288 miles and the 22 February 2023 failure and 10 March 2023 pass at 56,924 miles, the car covered only 8,636 miles across just over a year. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories or defects logged on any pass or fail, which limits insight into wear on consumables or structural items. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related corrosion, particularly to structural members, sills, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record omits any advisory notes that might otherwise reveal early rust. The low annual mileage implies long standing periods, which often degrade tyres, brake discs, and caliper seals through inactivity rather than friction. Given the two failed tests at matching mileages in both 2022 and 2023, the previous owner likely presented the car without addressing a non-mechanical blocker such as documentation or number plate visibility. Verify the suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust emissions during a physical inspection, since the official record provides no evidence of intervention on these components across the vehicle's life.
