Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a significan
If you are considering this vehicle, use the recent list of advisories as a primary negotiation tool. The 2026 MOT highlights several items that, while not immediate failures, will require investment shortly, specifically the suspension arm bushes, ball joints, and shock absorbers.
Ask the seller if any of the 2026 advisory items have been addressed since the test on 24th March. You should also verify the service history to see if the 1.2L engine has received regular oil changes, as high mileage on these small-capacity Ford engines can lead to reliability concerns if neglected.
The 1242cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it relatively affordable for newer drivers. Fuel economy for this model is typically modest, suitable for urban driving but less efficient on long motorway stints.
Maintenance costs for a Ford Ka are usually low due to the widespread availability of parts. However, the recent MOT history suggests you should budget for upcoming suspension repairs and tyre replacements. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,500 depending on your driving habits.
A thorough inspection of the front suspension is essential. The 2026 MOT specifically noted 'light misting of oil' on both nearside and offside front shock absorbers, as well as wear in the suspension arm bushes and ball joints. Check for any knocking or clunking sounds when driving over bumps.
Additionally, inspect the exhaust system for any audible leaks, as a minor leak was noted on the front exhaust. Check the condition of all four tyres, particularly the nearside and offside front tyres which were noted as being close to the legal limit. Finally, examine the rear brake hoses for any signs of further corrosion beyond the 'slight corrosion' noted on the ferrules.
This 2015 white Ford Ka 1.2L petrol has covered 89,980 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 4,692 miles per year. While the vehicle maintained a clean MOT record from 2022 through 2025, the March 2026 test recorded a high volume of advisories. These include issues with shock absorbers, suspension components, and exhaust leaks, suggesting wear that has accumulated recently.
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.
