2009 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · BB57 AKE

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The test from November 2025 at 62,049 miles showed no recorded defects, indicating that the car met all minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in late November 2024 at the same mileage, the immediate retest pass suggests the specific issue was rectified promptly, and the subsequent clean record does not show a pattern of escalating mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,650 miles per year. Data shows consistent but minimal usage over the recorded period. Between November 2022 at 55,437 miles and November 2025 at 62,049 miles, the car covered only 6,612 miles. This low mileage often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown which are not always captured by the MOT tester. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as low-age Ford Ka models are prone to corrosion in the wheel arches and rear sills. Despite the clean records, the low annual mileage increases the likelihood of perished suspension bushes or split tyres that have hardened due to age rather than wear. Inspect the braking system for seized calipers or rusted discs, as vehicles that sit infrequently often suffer from surface oxidation and internal binding of the friction surfaces.
