Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of the 2013 Ford K
Focus your attention on the chassis and suspension. The MOT records from 2024 and 2025 both flag worn suspension arm bushes, and the 2024 test specifically noted play in the offside front ball joint. Confirm whether these components have been replaced since the September 2025 test, as they are common failure points for this model.
Additionally, check the tyres and braking system. The most recent MOT noted front tyres that were both worn and perishing, as well as a weak offside handbrake. These are straightforward fixes but provide a legitimate basis for price negotiation.
The 1.2L engine is designed for urban efficiency, resulting in low fuel consumption and a modest road tax bracket. As a small petrol vehicle, it typically falls into a low insurance group, making it an economical choice for new drivers or city commuters.
Maintenance costs are generally low, though the MOT history indicates a pattern of wear in the suspension and braking cables. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and the anticipated suspension work, are estimated to be moderate.
Prioritise an inspection of the front suspension; specifically, check for movement in the suspension arm bushes and ball joints, as these have been flagged in two consecutive MOTs. Given the 2022 failure for damaged handbrake cables and the 2025 advisory for weak handbrake effort, test the handbrake's holding power on a gradient.
Examine the front tyres for sidewall cracking or tread wear, as the September 2025 record explicitly mentions perishing and wear close to the legal limit. Finally, check the rear exhaust for any signs of the leak noted in 2021 to ensure it was permanently resolved.
This silver 1.2L petrol Ford Ka has recorded 57,089 miles, which is relatively low for a vehicle of its age. The MOT history from 2021 to 2025 shows five consecutive passes, though the most recent tests highlight recurring wear on the front suspension and tyres. It aligns closely with the model's aggregate data, showing typical wear patterns for this city car.
The Ford Ka has an average MOT pass rate of 78%, with suspension arms and tyres being the most frequent causes of failure across the model range.
