2003 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · KA03 AAV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 20 January 2023 at 38,852 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a technical failure in November 2022 at 38,850 miles which showed showed no defects, likely indicating an administrative error or a minor non-safety failure rather than a systemic mechanical issue. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,689 miles per year. Between July 2019 and January 2023, the car covered only 3,381 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary storage or minimal use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such infrequent use often leads to issues like the degradation of rubber-based parts, the drying of seals, and surface corrosion due to lack of operation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as older Ford Ka models from this era are prone to significant corrosion in the wheel arches, sills, and floor pans. Given the low mileage, check the brake discs and calipers for surface pitting or seizing from sitting idle. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as these components age based on time regardless than the distance driven.
