2009 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CX59 RRZ

The 2009 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 August 2025 at 44,578 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 17-year-old vehicle. Records show 31,706 miles in August 2021, rising to 34,645 by August 2022, 38,542 by August 2023, 41,601 by August 2024, and 44,578 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 2,600 miles per year, with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues across the period, which suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance though low standing mileage can mask perished rubber and latent structural rust. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension components and subframe integrity given the car's age and likely periods of inactivity. The clean record offers no evidence of binding calipers or failing coil springs, but MOT passes do not measure wear tolerance on consumables. Verify tyre sidewall condition, brake hose suppleness, and underbody corrosion that a test bay may not photograph. Given the fault-free history and low annual coverage, the Ka implies a cautious owner rather than deferred neglect. Treat the absence of advisories as a positive signal, not a substitute for a pre-purchase mechanical assessment.
