Our Verdict
A reasonable choice for a budget city ca
Focus on verifying the service history, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness, not mechanical health. Given the 1.2L engine's age, check for evidence of timing belt replacement, as this is a critical maintenance item for this model.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and brakes, as these are common wear items for small city cars. Ensure you have documentation for any work carried out between the MOT failures and passes in May 2024 and May 2025.
Fuel economy is typically good for a 1.2L petrol engine, making it an affordable urban commuter. Insurance costs should be low due to the vehicle's small engine size and low power output.
Tax will be based on CO2 emissions for a 2009 model, which generally remains modest. Typical maintenance costs for this model are low, though suspension components may require periodic replacement.
Inspect the suspension arms and shock absorbers, as these are among the most common failure points for the Ford Ka across aggregate data. Check the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues.
While the MOT records show no defects in the most recent tests, a physical check of the underbody for corrosion is advised given the vehicle's 17-year age. Check for any leaks around the engine bay typical of older petrol variants.
This blue 2009 Ford Ka has covered 81,714 miles, which is broadly in line with the average for its age. The MOT history shows five tests since January 2024, including two instances where the vehicle failed and passed within a week. No specific defects were recorded in the most recent tests.
The Ford Ka has a 78% average MOT pass rate, indicating reasonable reliability for its class.
