AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing tests over the last four years. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pass in June 2024, which immediately followed a failure on the same date, though the specific reason for that failure was not documented in the provided record. The recorded mileage of 47,303 miles indicates a low usage pattern for a 2017 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,256 miles per year. The data provided does not show specific mileage increments for each individual test date, making it impossible to track precise annual distance accumulation or identify periods where the vehicle may have been stationary. Because the recent MOT records show no recorded advisories for components such as brake pads, discs, tyres, or suspension bushes, there are no specific mechanical trends to highlight from the documentation. A physical inspection should still focus on checking for signs of corrosion on the underside and ensuring all consumable items remain within legal limits, as the MOT record does not capture the real-time condition of these parts between tests. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.

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.
