2009 FORD KA1.2L Petrol

The 2009 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 May 2025 at 143,501 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from May 2022 to May 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 16 May 2023 at 109,452 miles, reversed and passed the next day at 109,467 miles with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or minor pre-check rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 8,441 across the car's 17 years, which is typical for the age. The record shows steady accumulation: 106,843 miles in May 2022, 109,467 in May 2023, 123,931 in May 2024, and 143,501 in May 2025. The largest single-year jump was roughly 19,570 miles between May 2023 and May 2024, above the norm but not extreme for a small hatchback. No long standing gaps appear; the MOT history is sparse on faults but consistent in cadence. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 143,501 miles. The clean advisory history offers no warning of corrosion or binding calipers, yet the DVSA record does not capture gradual wear between tests. Given the uneventful pass record and the trivial 2023 failure, previous ownership appears to have kept basic statutory testing current. Verify underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions in person, as these areas escape the clean MOT trail once a vehicle passes without advisories.
