2008 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · FL08 FXX

The most recent MOT test on 2 March 2023 at 83,039 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's current roadworthiness unconfirmed and the maintenance trend indeterminate. The prior test on 3 March 2022 at 72,492 miles passed cleanly with no advisories. A failure logged without stated defects is anomalous and suggests an administrative or presentation issue in the record rather than a documented mechanical fault. The odometer shows 83,039 miles against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 4,600 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2023 the car covered 10,547 miles, above its annual norm but still modest. The two-entry history is sparse. No rapid accumulation or standing-still pattern is evident beyond the low overall figure, though the gap before 2022 is undocumented. A buyer should physically verify why the 2023 test failed despite no listed defects, as the DVSA entry offers no technical basis for the result. Inspect structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and exhaust emissions in person, since none were reported but the fail remains unexplained. Given the clean 2022 pass and the unexplained 2023 failure, treat the car as unverified until a fresh test or independent inspection confirms its condition. Low mileage may mask perished rubber, corrosion, or seized components from intermittent use.
