Our Verdict
A sensible choice for urban driving with a consistent MOT record. The vehicle shows no history of failures or advisories across its recorded tests, making it a stable prospect.
When viewing this Ford Ka, focus on verifying the service history to supplement the clean MOT record, as the MOT only tests specific safety and environmental items. Since this is a small city car, check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are common failure points for this model type in the wider dataset.
Negotiate based on the actual service intervals rather than the MOT history alone. While the MOT shows no defects, you should still inspect the interior plastics and any exterior scuffs common to small cars used in urban environments.
The 1198cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for low-cost commuting. Tax and insurance groups for the Ford Ka are typically low, making it an affordable option for newer drivers or those looking to minimise fixed costs.
Maintenance costs are generally predictable for this model, though you should budget for consumables like tyres and shock absorbers, which are noted as top failure reasons in the wider Ford Ka aggregate data. Estimated annual running costs are relatively modest due to the small engine size and low tax bands.
Given that the aggregate data for this model identifies tyres, corrosion, and shock absorbers as the most frequent MOT failure reasons, these should be your primary areas of inspection. Check the tread depth and sidewall condition of the tyres, and look for any signs of uneven wear that might suggest suspension issues.
Inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, to ensure it remains consistent with the clean MOT history. Finally, test the suspension by checking for excessive bouncing or noise when driving over bumps to rule out premature shock absorber wear.
This 2017 blue Ford Ka features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 51,546 miles as of its last test in February 2026. The MOT history is notably clean, with five consecutive passes and zero recorded defects or advisories since its first test in 2022. While the mileage is higher than the model aggregate average of 4,698 miles per year, the lack of recorded issues is a positive indicator for this specific unit.
The Ford Ka has an average MOT pass rate of 78.1% across the 206,975 vehicles analysed, with common issues relating to tyres, corrosion, and shock absorbers.
