Our Verdict
A sensible choice for urban driving, provided the service history matches the clean recent MOT record. The low mileage relative to its age makes this a strong candidate for a first car or a city commuter.
When inspecting this Ford Ka, focus on the service history to ensure the 1.2L engine has received regular oil changes. While the MOT history is clean, the model aggregate data suggests that tyres and shock absorbers are common failure points for the Ka range; check these for adequate tread depth and any signs of leaking fluid.
Negotiate based on the service intervals. Since the car has covered 47,303 miles, check if any major scheduled maintenance was due around the 40,000-mile mark. Always verify that the recent MOT pass in 2025 was preceded by the necessary repairs if any minor issues were flagged during the inspection.
The 1198cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it relatively inexpensive to run in urban environments. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a small city car, and the insurance group for a 2017 Ka is generally accessible for younger drivers.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically low due to the widespread availability of parts. However, budget for periodic replacements of consumables like tyres and brakes, which are common maintenance items for this vehicle class. The estimated annual running cost is estimated to be in the mid-range for small petrol vehicles.
Pay close attention to the tyres and suspension components. Although this specific vehicle has no recorded defects in its recent MOT history, the aggregate data for Ford Kas shows tyres and shock absorbers as top failure reasons. Check for uneven tyre wear which could indicate alignment issues.
Additionally, inspect the underside of the vehicle for signs of corrosion. While not noted in this car's recent history, corrosion is a statistically significant failure reason for this model across the UK. Check the wheel arches and sills for any bubbling or rust.
This 2017 Ford Ka features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 47,303 miles as of its last MOT in June 2025. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of passing its tests, with its most recent two years recording no defects. Given the model's average annual mileage is approximately 4,698, this specific white Ka is performing slightly above that average in terms of usage.
The Ford Ka shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.1% across the sampled population, with common issues relating to tyres, corrosion, and shock absorbers.
