2008 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · OV58 ACF

The 2025‑09‑30 MOT at 20,838 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy despite the recorded chassis floor corrosion on both front sides, which the tester deemed not seriously affecting overall security. Since the 2020 test, no further defects have been logged, indicating a stable maintenance record and an improving condition relative to earlier years when tyre and suspension advisories were frequent. The mileage trajectory shows a gradual rise from 10,805 miles in 2012 to 20,838 miles in 2025, averaging roughly 1,158 miles per year, which is low for an 18‑year‑old vehicle and suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. The annual increments between 2020 (19,244 miles) and 2025 (20,838 miles) amount to about 300 miles per year, with no abrupt jumps observed in the DVSA log, and each year’s test confirms regular usage. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension bushes and ball‑joint dust covers for wear, verify that the chassis floor rust does not compromise structural integrity, examine tyre tread depth and side‑wall condition, and assess brake performance and exhaust emissions, as the history reveals recurring tyre perishing and suspension component advisories that may indicate deferred maintenance.
