2009 Ford KA 1.2L Diesel · FN09 CJX

The 2009 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 90,235 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after a single failure in late 2023. Across the available history the vehicle cleared every examination once the October 2023 failure was resolved, showing no worsening faults or recurring advisory pattern. Recorded mileage sits low for a seventeen-year-old car at 90,235 miles, an average of roughly 5,300 miles per year. The tester logged 75,643 miles in November 2022, then 82,892 at the failed October 2023 test and 83,289 when it passed weeks later on 16 November 2023, indicating a short burst of use around that period. Annual accumulation stayed modest thereafter, with 88,109 miles in October 2024 and 90,235 by December 2025. The sparse five-entry record shows no structural or mechanical defects, though the gap before 2022 leaves earlier wear undocumented. The lone failure on 24 October 2023 at 82,892 miles carries no listed defect, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the test rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still confirm the vehicle was not withdrawn for hidden problems. Given the low mileage and clean sheet, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, but long standing periods implied by the low annual use raise the risk of perished rubber components and corrosion on sills or suspension mounts. In person, inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation despite the absent advisories. Check exhaust integrity and underbody structural integrity for rust, since MOT passes at low volume do not rule out early corrosion. Verify the October 2023 failure context with the selling garage before purchase.
