2009 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CV09 RXP

The 2009 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 December 2025 at 77,470 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 17 year old vehicle. The Ka covered 66,302 miles at the 15 December 2023 test, rose to 71,291 miles by 16 December 2024, and reached 77,470 miles at the December 2025 test. That equates to roughly 4,557 miles per year, with annual increments of around 5,000 miles and no sudden accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA record itself is sparse, listing only passes and a single failed entry on 16 December 2024 with no defects noted, suggesting the failure was administrative rather than mechanical. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's age. The MOT history flags no corrosion, structural integrity issues, or exhaust emission failures across the five entries, which implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current. Despite the clean record, low mileage over long periods can mask perished rubber components and seized mechanisms. We recommend checking for binding handbrake cables, tyre sidewall cracking, and underbody rust at the sills before purchase.
