2005 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · GP54 AEW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test, conducted on 16 January 2023 at 75,263 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just three days prior at the exact same mileage. This suggests a minor compliance issue was identified and rectified immediately. Since 2021, the car has maintained a clean testing record, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,584 miles per year. The record shows consistent, slow accumulation, with only 2,447 miles covered between January 2021 and 2022, and another 2,414 miles in the following year. This low usage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine, though such low mileage often increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or corrosion forming on brake components if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically targeting the sills and rear wheel arches, where this model is prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check for perished suspension bushes and split brake lines that degrade over time. Given that the last test was over three years ago, the current roadworthiness status is technically expired, and a fresh inspection is required to ensure no new mechanical faults have developed during the extended gap in recorded testing.
