Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When inspecting this specific vehicle, you should request evidence that the oil leak noted in the July 2026 MOT has been professionally addressed and not just topped up. Given the history of multiple tyre failures in 2024 and the recent tyre wear in 2026, check the remaining tread depth on all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit.
Negotiate based on the recent MOT advisories. Ask for the service history to see if the oil leak is a known issue for this 1.2L petrol engine or if it relates to a gasket or seal. Ensure the rear windscreen wiper has been replaced as per the 2026 defect, and check that all exterior lighting, specifically the front position lamps mentioned in the 2024 failure, is fully operational.
The 1197cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it an affordable option for newer drivers. Fuel economy for this model is typically reasonable for a city car, though actual figures will depend on driving style and maintenance.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regular tyre replacements, as the MOT history suggests this vehicle may be driven on worn rubber. Typical annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are estimated to be moderate.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the engine bay to identify the source of the 'not excessive' oil leak recorded in July 2026. Look for signs of weeping around gaskets or seals. You should also inspect the tyres closely; the record shows a pattern of tyres being worn on the edges or close to the legal limit (noted in both 2024 and 2026).
Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the rear wiper motor, as these have been recorded as defective in multiple MOT tests. Finally, although the heat shield issue from 2024 was resolved, a quick check under the car to ensure no loose components are rattling is advisable.
This 2019 white Ford Ka has covered 66,420 miles since its first registration in September 2019. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a significant failure in September 2024 involving multiple tyres and a heat shield, and a more recent pass in July 2026 that noted an oil leak and tyre wear. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 4,685 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.0%, with common failure points being suspension arms, tyres, and shock absorbers.
