Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of the 2011 Ford K
The most striking aspect of this vehicle is the prolonged period of inactivity between 2023 and 2026. When buying a car that has sat idle, check for perished rubber components, battery health, and tyre flat-spotting. You should also verify if the corrosion on the rear brake pipes and suspension components noted in the 2023 MOT was professionally treated or replaced, as these are critical safety items.
Request the full service history to see if oil and filters were changed during the period of low usage, as oil degrades over time regardless of mileage. Negotiate based on the need for a fresh service and a thorough check of the braking system to ensure the previously noted corrosion has not returned.
The 1.2L engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for urban commuting. It falls into a modest tax band and insurance group, keeping fixed annual costs low.
Maintenance costs for the Ford Ka are generally affordable due to the widespread availability of parts. However, as seen in the aggregate data and this vehicle's history, suspension and exhaust components are common wear items that may require periodic investment.
Perform a detailed inspection of the underbody. Specifically, look for the corrosion on the rear brake pipes and suspension components mentioned in the 2023 MOT record to ensure they are now in a sound state. Check the front lower suspension arm pins and bushes; these were flagged as worn in 2023 and are listed as a top failure reason across the wider Ford Ka population.
Inspect the exhaust system, particularly the back box and front flexi, to confirm the minor leak recorded in 2023 has been resolved. Finally, check the tyres for age-related cracking, given the vehicle's very low mileage over the last three years.
This silver 1.2L petrol Ford Ka has covered 64,632 miles since January 2011, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history shows a clean pass in August 2026, though a 2023 test highlighted corrosion on brake pipes and suspension components. Notably, the vehicle covered only 113 miles between February 2023 and August 2026.
The Ford Ka has an average MOT pass rate of 78%, with suspension arms, tyres, and shock absorbers being the most frequent points of failure.
