2009 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · YP59 OKJ

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is assessed as unadvisory for the current date of 2026-06-18, given the absence of any serious defects or structural failures in the MOT history. The most recent test on 2026-03-23 at 66,347 miles passed without defects, indicating the vehicle has maintained good mechanical condition up to that point. However, the failure on 2025-03-06 at 62,881 miles suggests a significant gap in maintenance that may have occurred during the period between March 2025 and March 2026, which is a critical period for a used car of this age. The maintenance trend is unstable and worsening , as evidenced by the two consecutive failures on 2024-03-07 and 2025-03-06. The test on 2025-03-10 at 62,917 miles also passed, confirming that the vehicle has not suffered catastrophic damage since the most recent inspection. This pattern indicates that the buyer must perform a full roadworthiness check immediately upon obtaining the vehicle, as the previous owner may have been neglecting routine servicing or the car may have been driven in a way that accelerated wear on suspension, brakes, or drivetrain components. Given the failure history, a buyer should inspect the suspension and brakes in person, as the two failures on 2024-03-07 and 2025-03-06 strongly suggest that binding calipers, bushings, or brake pads may have been replaced, or that the suspension components have become loose. The low mileage suggests that the vehicle has likely been driven less frequently than a new car, but the lack of a clean MOT record implies that the owner may have skipped basic maintenance checks, such as checking tyre wear or inspecting suspension bushings. A thorough visual inspection of the undercarriage and suspension linkage is required to confirm whether the vehicle is in safe condition or if further work is needed.
