2007 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · FP07 FVD

The 2007 Ford Ka shows a stable maintenance trend with no recorded defects, though the most recent test on 4 October 2022 at 82,998 miles produced a pass and a same-day failure with no defects listed, a clerical anomaly that leaves the final DVSA outcome ambiguous. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the car presented as roadworthy at its last examination nearly four years ago. Recorded mileage sits at 82,998 miles against a 19-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,368 miles per year and confirming very light use. The gap between the 29 October 2021 test at 81,956 miles and the October 2022 test at 82,998 miles shows only 1,042 miles covered in that year. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which on a 2007 hatchback raises the risk of perished rubber components and stagnant fluids rather than drivetrain fatigue. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or corrosion linked to long idle spells. The tester logged no structural integrity issues, yet the age of the shell means sills and subframes warrant close checks for hidden rust. Given the sparse record and the unexplained fail/pass pair on 4 October 2022, commission an independent inspection before purchase to confirm the current MOT status and verify no outstanding defects exist beyond the DVSA extract.
