Our Verdict
This 2010 Ford Ka requires careful inspe
When inspecting this Ford Ka, verify that all advisory items noted in the February 2026 MOT have been addressed, specifically the offside front shock absorber oil misting, the non-excessive engine oil leak, and the corrosion on the rear suspension component mounting prescribed areas. Check the service history thoroughly to see how frequently components like brakes and suspension parts have been replaced, as the MOT record shows recurring tyre wear and suspension notes. Negotiate on price if there is no documented proof that these advisory items and the cracked or damaged offside front door mirror have been rectified.
As a lightweight 1.2-litre petrol city car, the Ford Ka generally offers reasonable fuel economy for urban driving. Insurance groups for this generation are typically low, making it an accessible choice for younger or less experienced drivers. Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) should be checked against current government bandings for a 2010 petrol vehicle of this engine size. Maintenance costs are typically modest due to widespread parts availability, though potential buyers should set aside funds for addressing recurring MOT advisory items such as suspension wear and minor oil leaks.
Estimated annual running cost: £900-£1,200 covering fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance.
Pay close attention to the rear suspension component mountings, which have accumulated recurring advisories regarding corrosion. Inspect the front shock absorbers carefully; the 2026 test noted a light misting of oil on the offside front, while the 2025 test required a replacement due to a serious fluid leak on the nearside. Check the engine bay for the source of the non-excessive oil leak recorded consistently across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests. Finally, test the parking brake thoroughly following its inoperative failure in February 2026, and inspect the tyres and offside front obligatory mirror for damage.
This blue, 1.2L petrol Ford Ka has recorded 85,039 miles as of February 2026. The vehicle's MOT history shows a pattern of recurring advisories and recent failures, including a parking brake failure in 2026 and a serious nearside front shock absorber fluid leak alongside thin brake pads in 2025. It represents a budget city car option, but prospective buyers must budget for ongoing maintenance to address lingering advisory items.
The Ford Ka has a national average MOT pass rate of 78.1%, with suspension arms, shock absorbers, and tyres serving as the most common failure points.
