Our Verdict
This 2011 Ford Ka in white passes its re
When inspecting this vehicle, carefully examine the service documentation alongside the MOT history to establish what remedial work has been carried out. Given the recurring advisory notes regarding the exhaust system, suspension components, and tyres over successive tests, use these items as a point for price negotiation. Ensure a thorough check of the rear axle and suspension arms is conducted before finalising the purchase.
Fuel costs for the 1.2-litre petrol engine should remain manageable for daily commuting, paired with typical insurance grouping for a city car of this era. Vehicle Excise Duty depends on the exact CO2 emissions band, while maintenance must factor in the recurring replacement of consumables like tyres and exhaust clamps highlighted in the MOT records. Estimated annual running costs range between £800 and £1,100 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Pay close attention to the front suspension, specifically checking the nearside front shock absorber for oil misting and the offside front lower suspension arm bush for wear, as noted in the 2025 test. Inspect the rear axle for corrosion and check the condition of the exhaust system, noting past advisories for a missing silencer clamp and corrosion on the silencer skin. Finally, inspect all tyre sidewalls for the cracking and cuts recorded in recent tests.
First registered in May 2011 with a 1.2-litre petrol engine, this Ford Ka has accumulated 66,728 miles by October 2025. The vehicle holds a consecutive run of MOT passes from 2021 through 2025, though multiple advisories have been recorded consistently across these tests. The recorded mileage sits significantly above the model's aggregate annual average of 4,692 miles.
The Ford Ka model achieves an average MOT pass rate of 78.0% across the UK fleet, with suspension arms, tyres, and shock absorbers serving as the top failure reasons.
