Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example for a buyer seeking low-mileage urban motoring. The exceptionally low mileage and clean recent MOT history make it a standout candidate within the Ford Ka model range.
Given the very low mileage, your primary focus should be on ensuring that maintenance has been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule, as vehicles that sit idle can sometimes face issues with rubber components or fluids. Check the service book to see if oil changes have been carried out regularly despite the low usage.
When negotiating, ask for clarification regarding the MOT failure in July 2025. While no specific defect was listed in the provided data, understanding what required attention can provide peace of mind. Ensure all tyres have adequate tread, as tyres are a common failure point for this model according to aggregate data.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it an economical choice for city driving. You should expect relatively low fuel consumption and a modest insurance group, typical for a small hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs for a Ford Ka are generally manageable, though you should budget for common wear-and-tear items. Based on the vehicle's profile, the estimated annual running cost is relatively low, provided it is used for standard commuting.
While this specific vehicle has a clean record, the aggregate data for Ford Kas indicates that tyres, corrosion, and shock absorbers are the most frequent MOT failure reasons. Inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of early corrosion.
Additionally, test the suspension by driving over uneven surfaces to listen for knocks or rattles, which could indicate issues with the shock absorbers mentioned in the model's failure trends. Because the mileage is so low, also check for any signs of perished rubber seals or ageing belts.
This 2014 Red Ford Ka has covered just 29,865 miles in approximately 12 years, which is significantly lower than the model average of 4,689 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with only one recorded failure in July 2025 at 29,741 miles. Aside from that single event, the vehicle has maintained a clean record across its five recorded tests.
The Ford Ka has an average MOT pass rate of 78.1% across the 207,072 vehicles analysed, with common issues relating to tyres, corrosion, and shock absorbers.
