2008 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · FN08 FHK

The 2023‑04‑05 MOT at 45,530 miles confirms the 2008 Ford Ka remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a pass outcome identical to the earlier 2022 test, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The vehicle’s 45,530 miles over 18 years equate to an average of 2,529 miles per year, indicating light usage or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage rose only 2,399 miles between the 2022‑04‑08 test at 43,131 miles and the 2023‑04‑05 test, a modest increase that shows no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or neglect. Inspection should concentrate on mechanical components that may exhibit hidden wear: examine suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or corrosion, assess brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and verify chassis and wheel‑arch structural integrity for rust. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and exhaust system integrity, as these consumables often indicate whether low mileage reflects genuine care or prolonged storage; any signs of deferred maintenance should be addressed before purchase.
