2009 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · HJ09 WYP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, following its most recent MOT test on 4 February 2026 at 61,677 miles where it passed with no recorded defects. This indicates that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in early February 2025, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the previous owner addressed the necessary rectifications promptly, maintaining a clean record over the last three years of testing. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the car covered 4,903 miles, followed by a further 5,038 miles in the fourteen months leading to the latest test. This low usage often implies that mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine is minimal, however, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which are not always captured by the MOT tester. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills pans, as older Ford models of this era are prone to corrosion in the rear wheel arches and underbody. Despite the clean history, the suspension should be checked for perished bushes or worn coil springs that may fail due to age rather than mileage. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers to ensure that the low mileage has not caused the braking system to oxidize from disuse.
