Our Verdict
A strong candidate for a low-mileage cit
Given the low mileage, your primary focus should be on ensuring the vehicle has been serviced regularly, as engines can suffer from lack of use just as much as high mileage. Check for any signs of perished rubber components or seals that may have aged while the car was stationary.
When negotiating, ask for evidence of oil changes and fluid checks. Because this is a 1.3L petrol model, ensure the timing belt (cambelt) has been replaced according to manufacturer intervals, regardless of the low mileage, as these are time-sensitive components.
The 1299cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and tax band suitable for new drivers. Fuel economy for this model is generally modest, making it a cost-effective option for short commutes.
Maintenance costs for a Ford Ka are typically low due to the abundance of parts. You should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brakes, though the model aggregate data suggests monitoring shock absorbers and corrosion levels as these are common failure points for the wider fleet.
Pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle for signs of corrosion, as this is a top failure reason for this model across the aggregate data. Inspect the tyres for adequate tread and even wear, as tyre issues are another frequent cause of MOT failure for the Ka.
Additionally, check the condition of the shock absorbers for any signs of leaking oil or excessive bouncing. Given the very low mileage, also inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, which can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently.
This 2007 Ford Ka (MA57KWH) presents with significantly lower than average mileage, having covered only 24,081 miles in its lifetime. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with the most recent three tests recorded without any defects. While there was a failure recorded in September 2023, the vehicle has since maintained a clean record.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.1% average MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to tyres, corrosion, and shock absorbers.
