Our Verdict
A sensible choice for a budget city car.
Check the service history to see if the brake fluctuation noted in February 2022 was addressed, as this is a point of interest for the braking system's health. Ensure the tyres are in good condition and have plenty of tread remaining, as tyre wear has appeared in the MOT history previously.
Given the vehicle's age, verify when the cambelt and water pump were last replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1.2L engine. Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and any immediate maintenance needs like oil or filter changes.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it an affordable option for urban commuting. Tax and insurance for this model are typically low, falling into a budget-friendly insurance group suitable for new drivers or city dwellers.
Typical maintenance costs for the Ka are generally low, though owners should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres and wipers. The estimated annual cost covers fuel, road tax, insurance, and basic servicing.
Pay close attention to the suspension arms and shock absorbers during a test drive; while this vehicle has not failed on these items, they are top failure reasons for the Ford Ka across 207,614 analysed vehicles. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, referencing the 2022 MOT failure for the offside front tyre.
Check the functionality of all exterior lighting and the windscreen wipers, as these caused previous MOT failures. A visual inspection of the brake discs and pads is also recommended following the 2022 report of a fluctuating service brake.
This 2011 black Ford Ka has recorded 68,303 miles, which is lower than the average annual distance for this model. The MOT history is relatively stable, with the most recent test in November 2025 passing without defects after a minor wiper blade replacement. While it has had a few minor issues with lighting and tyres in the past, it lacks the common suspension failures seen across the wider model population.
The Ford Ka has a general MOT pass rate of 78%, with common weak points being the suspension arms and shock absorbers.
