2009 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CV59 LVC

A consistent history of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the record showing a trend of clean passes, including the most recent test on 2 August 2025. While the majority of tests have been passed without defects, a failure was recorded on 8 March 2023, which was rectified and passed nine days later. The recorded mileage of 96,780 miles is low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,693 miles per year. This usage pattern suggests limited operational stress on the drivetrain and interior. However, a gap in the testing history exists between December 2021 and March 2023, which may indicate a period of inactivity. Given the absence of recorded advisories for corrosion or suspension wear, the physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation of rubber and plastic components. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishability or fractures. During a test drive, listen specifically for knocks or rattles over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension linkages. Assess the braking system for any pedal judder or uneven pulling to one side, and check for any softness in the pedal travel. Although no oil leaks or exhaust emissions issues have been flagged in the DVSA records, a visual inspection for oil misting around the engine seals is recommended. Finally, test the clutch engagement to ensure there is no slipping or excessive hardness, as these are typical wear items for a vehicle of this age.
