Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough insp
When viewing this black Ford Ka, your primary focus should be on the underside of the vehicle. The 2024 MOT recorded body corrosion, and the 2025 test flagged corroded rear coil springs. You must check if these issues were professionally rectified or merely patched up.
Ask the seller for evidence of the work carried out following the 2024 failure, specifically regarding the exhaust leak and the headlamp aim adjustment. Given the mileage is significantly higher than the aggregate average for this model, ensure you check the service history for regular oil changes to support the 1242cc engine.
The 1.2L petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it an affordable option for newer drivers. Fuel economy for this model is typically modest, suitable for urban driving but less efficient on long motorway stints.
Maintenance costs for a Ford Ka are generally low due to the availability of parts, but you should budget for suspension components and exhaust repairs, as these have appeared in this vehicle's recent history. Estimated annual running costs are expected to be relatively low.
Inspect the rear suspension area thoroughly; the 2025 MOT specifically noted corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear coil springs. You should also examine the bodywork for any signs of the corrosion mentioned in the 2024 report, particularly around the wheel arches and sills.
Check the condition of all tyres, noting that the 2024 test identified a nearside rear tyre that was cracking or perishing. Finally, verify that the exhaust system is secure and silent to ensure the minor leak noted in 2024 has been fully resolved.
This 2013 Ford Ka 1.2L petrol shows a mixed MOT history with significant findings in 2024 and 2025. The vehicle has covered 72,419 miles, which is considerably higher than the model average of 4,692 miles per year. Recent records show issues ranging from tyre perishing to structural corrosion and suspension components.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.0% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to suspension arms, tyres, and shock absorbers.
