Our Verdict
A sensible option for a city car. The MO
Verify the service history to ensure maintenance intervals were met, especially as the mileage is above the model average. Check for any evidence of recent tyre replacements or suspension work, as these are common weak points for this model. Given the previous MOT failures for a stop lamp and headlamp aim, ensure all external lighting is fully operational before purchase.
The 1.2L petrol engine is economical for urban driving, typically falling into a low tax bracket and insurance group. Maintenance costs are generally low due to the widespread availability of parts for the Ka range.
Annual costs will primarily consist of fuel, road tax, and basic servicing. Expect a modest annual spend on consumables like tyres and brakes given the vehicle's age and usage.
Carefully inspect the vehicle's underside and sills for corrosion, as this is one of the top failure reasons for the Ford Ka across aggregate data. Check the condition of the shock absorbers and the tread depth of all tyres, as these are also high-frequency failure points for this model.
While the most recent MOT in April 2026 was passed without defects, double-check the offside rear stop lamp and the alignment of the offside front headlamp to ensure the previous faults have been permanently rectified.
This white 2016 Ford Ka has recorded 67,885 miles. Its MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with two failures in 2024 and 2026 both relating to simple lighting issues that were resolved on the same day. It is a standard 1.2L petrol variant that has been used more extensively than the average Ka.
The Ford Ka has an average MOT pass rate of 78%, with common failures typically linked to corrosion, tyres, and shock absorbers.
