2001 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · FN51 WFD

The 2001 Ford Ka presents an unclear roadworthiness position. The sole available DVLA MOT entry shows a failure on 31 March 2022 at 67,618 miles with no defects formally recorded, and no further tests appear since. With no pass recorded after that date and over four years elapsed to today's date of 8 July 2026, the vehicle currently lacks a valid test and its maintenance trend cannot be classed as stable, worsening, or improving from the data supplied. Recorded mileage stands at 67,618 against a 25-year-old car, equating to roughly 2,705 miles per year. That figure is low for the age and suggests either light use or extended periods off the road. The single 2022 reading provides no span of entries to judge accumulation or gaps; the absence of earlier or later tests leaves the odometer pattern unverified beyond that one snapshot. A buyer must treat the 2022 failure with caution. The tester logged no defects, yet the car still failed, pointing to a possible administrative or unrecorded fault condition. Given the age, structural corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points should be physically checked, along with brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes for deterioration from standing. Confirm a current valid MOT or full pre-purchase inspection before any purchase. The Ka's low mileage does not offset the four-year test gap or the unexplained failure. Previous keeper care cannot be evidenced from this record.
