2003 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · WN53 MLK

The Ford Ka shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 14 January 2022 at 45,115 miles. No defects or advisories appear across the five recorded MOT entries from 2019 to 2022. The maintenance record is unremarkable but consistent, with no worsening mechanical faults flagged by testers. Recorded mileage sits at 45,115 miles for a 23-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 1,962 miles per year. The Ka covered only 1,850 miles between the November 2019 test at 43,265 miles and the December 2020 failure at 44,559 miles. A mere 556 miles were added by the January 2022 pass. This low annual use implies long standing periods rather than active wear on drivetrain or suspension components. Two December failures in 2020 and 2021 at near-identical mileages of 44,559 and 45,114 show no recorded defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. The DVSA data gives no evidence of recurring brake, suspension, or corrosion problems across the timeline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely extended idle spells. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for deterioration from moisture exposure during storage. Verify the odometer reading matches the 45,115 miles logged at the last test.
