2009 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · LR59 HTE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean pass on March 9, 2026, at40,908 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern, as the failures recorded in 2024 and 2025 were successfully rectified to achieve subsequent passes without any advisories. This suggests the current owner is willing to address specific mechanical faults identified by the tester rather than allowing defects to persist across testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a springer-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,406 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered only 2,161 miles, and it added another 2,212 miles in the year following that test. While this low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, such long periods of standing or very short-distance driving can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues. Despite the recent record, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as Ford Ka models of this era are prone to significant corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. The low mileage does not mask the potential for dry-rotted tyres or perished suspension bushes. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and seized calipers, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from brake oxidation regardless of the low mileage recorded.
