2009 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CP09 AYO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the MOT history indicates a pattern of inconsistent testing. The most recent test on 7 September 2022 at 109,981 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle met all minimum standards at that time. However, the record shows immediate failures preceding these passes in both 2021 and 2022, indicating that issues were rectified just before re-tests. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent with low-use urban driving, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its 17-year life. Between December 2020 and December 2021, the car covered 5,206 miles, while it recorded only 10 miles between the November 2021 failure and the December 2021 pass. The lack of any recorded data for the nearly four years following the September 2022 test means the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual inspection, which is a significant factor in assessing its current mechanical state. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as Ford vehicles of this era are prone to significant corrosion that may not be captured until it becomes critical. While the record shows no historical advisories, the rubber components, suspension bushes, and exhaust system are likely perished due to age despite the low mileage. Check the braking system for signs of rust-pitting or seized calipers, as long periods of standing suggested by the stagnant mileage figures often lead to internal component failure.
