2009 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FJ59 XKV

The 2009 Ford Ka presents a highly stable and impeccable roadworthiness record, culminating in a clean pass on 16 December 2025 at 29,831 miles. Every recorded MOT test since December 2021 has passed without a single defect or advisory, indicating a maintenance trend that is not only stable but exceptionally well-maintained. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults across five consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has been diligently cared for, with no emerging issues requiring remedial attention. At roughly 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 29,831 equates to an average of just 1,755 miles annually, confirming extremely light usage. The mileage progression reveals minimal accumulation over the years; for instance, the vehicle covered only 592 miles between 16 December 2021 and 13 December 2022, and a mere 563 miles between 2 January 2024 and 20 December 2024. Such low increments strongly imply prolonged periods of standing rather than consistent daily driving. While the data is entirely sparse regarding faults, this ultra-low mileage profile shifts the mechanical focus away from high-mileage wear and toward the effects of long-term static storage. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection must prioritize components vulnerable to infrequent use rather than high mileage. Tyres displaying early tread depth should be checked closely for sidewall cracking and date codes, as rubber perishes with age regardless of wear. Brake discs often suffer from surface corrosion during extended stationary periods, potentially causing binding or juddering that a short MOT drive might not reveal. Suspension bushes and exhaust systems also warrant scrutiny; short, infrequent runs prevent the exhaust from reaching optimal operating temperature, trapping moisture that accelerates internal corrosion, while rubber suspension mounts can perish and crack from age and lack of regular flexing.
