2008 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · FP08 OBJ

The vehicle currently holds no valid roadworthiness pass. The most recent MOT on 9 November 2021 at 60,355 miles resulted in a failure with no defects recorded by the tester, and no further tests appear on file. Relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, the car has been off the active test cycle for over four and a half years. The maintenance trend cannot be classed as stable, worsening, or improving from this record; the single failure with a blank defect field leaves the mechanical status unverified and the lack of a subsequent pass suggests the vehicle may have been withdrawn from use or left untaxed and uninsured. The odometer shows 60,355 miles against an 18-year-old 2008 Ford Ka, equating to roughly 3,353 miles per year. This is low for the age and points to light use or extended periods of standing. The record jumps from no prior entries to the 2021 failure at 60,355 miles, so no gradual accumulation or rapid spikes can be assessed. Sparse data of this kind gives no evidence of routine servicing intervals, and the static mileage at the failure date means we cannot confirm whether the car has moved since. A buyer must treat the 2021 failure as a red flag despite the empty defect list. DVSA systems occasionally log failures without itemised advisories, so physical inspection of structural integrity, subframe corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers is essential before any road use. The Ka's age makes rust at sills and suspension mounts a likely risk after years outdoors. Given the expired test and unknown defect, assume the car is not roadworthy until a full mechanical inspection and a fresh MOT are completed. Previous ownership likely skipped formal testing for years. Verify V5C, tax status, and confirm no outstanding recall before purchase.
