The FORD KA (1996-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.3 CITRUS GOLD is a small, three-door city car designed for easy, affordable everyday motoring. Its compact shape suits narrow streets and tight parking, placing it among the UK’s simplest alternatives to larger hatchbacks. mycarcheck.com has recorded 167 look-ups across 137 distinct VINs, offering a useful snapshot of cars being checked. Those records show an average latest mileage of 54,000 and annual use of around 5,000 miles; the average keeper count is nearly four. The recorded average private-sale valuation is £100, an unusually low figure that should be treated as a data point, not a guide to today’s asking price. The Ka is best suited to solo drivers, couples, students and first-time motorists needing a straightforward runabout. Its character and agility made it a distinctive rival to the Fiat Seicento and Vauxhall Corsa, though buyers should assess each older car’s condition and history carefully.
