Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this vehicle, prioritize checking the service history to see if the brake pad replacement noted in the December 2022 failure was accompanied by a brake fluid change or disc inspection. Given the high mileage, you should also ask for evidence of timing belt changes, as these are critical for the 1242cc engine.
Negotiate the price based on the high mileage relative to the vehicle's age. Ensure you check the condition of the tyres and shock absorbers during your inspection, as these are common failure points for the Ford Ka model across the wider dataset.
The 1.2L petrol engine is generally economical for city driving, though fuel costs will depend on your annual mileage. As a 2010 model, tax bands and insurance groups are typically low, making it an affordable option for newer drivers or those looking for low fixed costs.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regularly, particularly for consumables like tyres and brakes. Given the model aggregate data, you should anticipate potential costs related to corrosion or suspension components as the vehicle ages.
Specifically inspect the braking system; the 2022 MOT failure recorded front brake pads being less than 1.5mm thick on both sides. Check that the windscreen wipers, washer jets, and registration plate lamps are all fully operational to avoid a repeat of previous MOT failures.
Additionally, because the model aggregate data identifies corrosion and shock absorbers as top failure reasons, inspect the underside of the car for rust and test the suspension for any knocking sounds or excessive movement over bumps.
This 2010 Ford Ka, finished in blue with a 1.2L petrol engine, has covered 114,592 miles as of its last recorded MOT. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 4,707 miles per year, suggesting heavy usage. The MOT history shows a failure in late 2022 due to worn brake pads and various minor lighting and wiper issues, followed by a clean pass in December 2022.
The Ford Ka has an average MOT pass rate of 78.0% across the dataset, with common issues including tyres, corrosion, and shock absorbers.
