1998 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · R945 CCR

The roadworthiness status of this Ford Ka is currently stable following a clean pass on the ninth of November 2023 at forty-eight thousand seven hundred and forty-three miles. This most recent test followed a failure just one day prior on the eighth of November 2023, though the DVSA database records no specific defect codes for either the failure or the subsequent pass. Earlier testing follows a similar pattern of immediate rectification, including a failed test on the twenty-fifth of October 2021 that was successfully overturned following a clean pass on the eighteenth of November 2021. Averaging roughly one thousand seven hundred and forty-one miles annually over its twenty-eight-year lifespan, the vehicle shows exceptionally low mileage accumulation. The MOT history lacks chronological gaps, with annual testing occurring reliably every November between 2021 and 2023. This infrequent use indicates the car likely spent extended periods parked or stored in a domestic garage rather than undertaking regular long-distance journeys. Low mileage on a late-nineties Ford presents distinct preservation challenges that require careful physical inspection. Buyers must thoroughly examine the structural integrity of the floorpans, sills, and suspension mounting points, as first-generation Ka models suffer extensively from hidden corrosion. Rubber components such as suspension bushes, CV boots, and brake flexible hoses perish over time regardless of mileage, meaning age-related degradation will likely demand immediate mechanical attention despite the unblemished advisory record.
