2007 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · FN07 KPV

The 2007 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 24 April 2025 at 66,265 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior examinations in February 2024 at 59,961 miles and October 2021 at 33,767 miles also returned passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 66,265 against an approximate 19-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,488 miles per year. The October 2022 entry shows a failed test immediately followed by a pass on the same day at 44,858 miles, with no defects logged on either; this suggests an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical rejection. Annual use climbed from 11,091 miles between October 2021 and October 2022, then dropped to 15,103 miles by February 2024 and 6,304 miles to April 2025, indicating lighter recent use. The clean history gives little evidence of deferred consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. Brake discs and calipers warrant checking for seizure after low-mileage storage. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the Ka from age-related structural fatigue invisible to the MOT lane. Given the sparse but clean record, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic test compliance. The same-day fail-pass in 2022 merits a check of the DVSA failure reason via the full certificate. Pre-purchase scrutiny of exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall cracking remains prudent on a low-use 2007 hatchback.
