2019 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · SO19 ABZ

The 2019 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 17 April 2025 at 22,335 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The April 2025 test passed cleanly with no defects logged, though it followed a same-day failure at 22,334 miles where the tester recorded no defects, a pattern repeated on 18 April 2024 when a failure at 17,937 miles preceded a pass at 17,939 miles with no faults cited. Such paired fail-pass entries on the same day with zero recorded defects typically indicate administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical non-compliance, and no worsening fault trajectory is evident. The mileage record shows light use for a seven-year-old vehicle. From the 3 May 2023 test at 13,546 miles, the car covered 4,393 miles to the April 2024 tests at roughly 17,937 miles, then a further 4,396 miles to April 2025 at 22,335 miles, equating to around 3,191 miles per year. The data is sparse with only three test years captured, and the clean advisories across all entries leave no evidence of consumable neglect or deferred upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished defect record. Low annual mileage combined with the repeated same-day fail-pass cycles suggests the car may have stood idle for extended periods, raising the risk of perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, degraded brake hoses, and flat-spotted tyres not captured by the MOT. The absence of any corrosion, brake, or exhaust advisories is reassuring, but standing vehicles commonly develop seized calipers or weakened coil springs that a static test cannot always reveal. Verify the V5C and service book to confirm whether the duplicated 2024 and 2025 failures reflect genuine test anomalies or mileage discrepancy concerns. Prior owners clearly kept the car lightly used and free of recorded faults, yet a pre-purchase check of structural integrity underneath and a road test to confirm no binding brakes or suspension play remains prudent given the limited evidential footprint.
