Our Verdict
A consistent performer that has passed a
Focus your attention on the chassis and suspension. The MOT history repeatedly flagged suspension arm bushes and corroded rear coil springs in 2022 and 2023; you should verify if these components were replaced or if they remain as ongoing wear items.
Check the service records to ensure the vehicle has been serviced regularly to support the 24,710 miles added to the odometer since October 2022. Negotiate based on the current state of the tyres and shock absorbers, as these were flagged as nearing limits or leaking in 2025.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, typically placing the vehicle in a lower insurance group and a competitive tax band. Maintenance costs for the Ka are generally low due to the widespread availability of parts and the simplicity of the engine.
Typical annual expenditure will be driven by fuel and the tendency for suspension components to require attention, as seen in the aggregate data and this vehicle's specific history. The estimated annual running cost is relatively low for a petrol vehicle of this age.
Inspect the front shock absorbers for any signs of oil leakage, following the 'light misting' advisory recorded in June 2025. Check the current tread depth of the front tyres, as they were recorded at 3mm (close to the legal limit) during the 2025 test.
Additionally, examine the rear coil springs for corrosion and the exhaust mountings for stability, as both were flagged as defective or corroded in the 2022 and 2023 MOT tests. Ensure the headlamp lenses are clear and free of the product mentioned in the April 2026 report.
This black 2014 Ford Ka has a recorded mileage of 85,511 miles, which is above the model average of 4,692 miles per year. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes, though it has a pattern of advisories regarding suspension and corrosion. It presents as a typical example of this 1.2L petrol variant with wear consistent with its age and usage.
The Ford Ka has an average MOT pass rate of 78.0%, with common failure points being the suspension arms, tyres, and shock absorbers.
