FORD KA2009 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. In the most recent inspection conducted on 2 June 2025 at 49,741 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded. This follows a minor failure in May 2024 which was immediately rectified within twenty-four hours to achieve a passing result. The overall trend indicates that the vehicle is being maintained to a functional standard without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. Between May 2022 (27,751 miles) and June 2023 (33,402 miles), the car covered only 5,651 miles, followed by a more significant increase of 8,339 miles in the year leading to the 2024 test. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between uses can ( to degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and brake system corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as this era of enough Ka is prone to surface and structural rust that remains hidden when stationary. Given the low usage, the braking system should be checked for seized calipers or pitted brake discs resulting from lack of use. Additionally, the suspension bushes and tyres should be examined for cracking or perish rot, as age-related material fatigue often occurs independently of the low mileage driven.
