The FORD KA (2008-16) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2 SS 69 EU5 GRAND PRIX II is a small, three-door petrol city car, designed for easy everyday driving rather than carrying a large family. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable runabouts, competing with models such as the Fiat 500, Vauxhall Corsa and Volkswagen Up. Its compact size makes parking and busy-town journeys less daunting. Grand Prix II branding gives this Ka a distinctive alternative to more basic versions, while its straightforward layout and modest 1.2-litre engine suit short trips and commuting. Mycarcheck.com recorded 378 checks covering 171 different VINs, a useful sample; checked cars averaged 68,000 miles and 7,000 miles a year. The recorded average private-sale valuation was £2,600, and owners averaged 3.8 previous keepers. This three-door Ford Ka is best for singles, couples or first-time drivers seeking a very manageable used car, rather than generous rear-seat or luggage space.
