2009 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CV59 JNN

The 2009 Ford Ka presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 31 August 2022 returning a pass at 111,792 miles and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no worsening signals across the supplied record, though the absence of any test since late 2022 means the vehicle has now stood for nearly four years without a recorded MOT. That gap, rather than any failure trend, is the chief concern for a used-car buyer today. Mileage sat at 107,439 on 16 August 2021 and rose to 111,191 by the failed test of 26 August 2022, then 111,792 at the pass five days later. That equates to roughly 4,350 miles over the year to August 2022, below the lifetime average of about 6,576 miles per year, suggesting lighter recent use. The record is sparse, with only three entries and a clean pass in 2021, so no consumable wear or mechanical fault pattern can be drawn from the data itself. The 26 August 2022 failure at 111,191 miles carries no listed defects, which points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the retest five days later passed with no advisories. A buyer should still treat the four-year test gap as a warning. Standing time invites corroded brake discs, seized handbrake mechanisms, perished suspension bushes, and structural underbody rust on a 17-year-old hatchback. In person, inspect the subframe and sills for corrosion, check the brake calipers for binding after the long idle, and verify tyre sidewalls have not cracked from storage. The low annual mileage implies gentle use, but the missing MOT history from 2022 to 2026 leaves the current mechanical state unverified by DVSA data.
