Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- Rear Axle and Sill CorrosionSerious
Despite being newer than the Mk1, the Ka Mk2 can still rust badly around the rear axle, inner sills and wheel-arch seams, and structural repairs quickly outweigh the value of a cheap car.
- Electric Power Steering Column FailureSerious
The column-mounted electric steering can lose assistance intermittently or permanently, often after low-voltage events or torque-sensor wear.
- Heater Blower Resistor and Tailgate Wiring FaultsModerate
Ageing blower resistors and broken wiring at the tailgate can leave the Ka with missing fan speeds, dead rear electrics or damp-related gremlins.
