Our Verdict
Recommended with caution due to a single MOT failure, but the vehicle shows low mileage and recent MOT passes make it a viable option for careful buyers.
Prioritise checking the engine MIL failure recorded in 2024—ensure the underlying issue was fully resolved. Verify service history for regular maintenance, as low mileage may mask neglect. Negotiate slightly due to the 2024 failure, but the clean recent MOTs and low mileage offset some risks. Insist on a pre-purchase inspection to confirm the engine and emissions systems are functioning correctly.
The 1.2L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, likely 40-50 mpg, reducing fuel costs. As a 2015 model, it falls into a £140 annual road tax band. Insurance group is likely average for a small petrol car (groups 8-12). Maintenance costs are expected to be low if serviced regularly, though the 2024 MIL issue may require additional checks. Estimated annual running costs: £800-£1,000.
Focus on the engine and emissions systems, particularly the MIL indicator, to confirm the 2024 failure was resolved. Check for oil leaks, coolant levels, and exhaust system integrity. Inspect the vehicle’s service records to verify maintenance consistency, as low mileage may hide issues. Test drive for unusual engine noises or warning lights.
This 2015 Ford KA has a generally clean MOT history with recent passes at 26,481 and 28,723 miles, though it failed in 2024 due to an engine MIL issue. Its low mileage (28,723) is well below average for its age, suggesting potential under-use or limited driving. No aggregate reliability data exists for the KA model, but the vehicle’s specific history shows mixed performance.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Ford KA model to assess broader reliability trends.
