This… is the 2014 Ford Ka 1.2 Edge—a car that’s perfect if you’ve just passed your test, are about to pass your test, or simply want something small, cheap, and cheerful to get from A to B without any drama whatsoever. Under the bonnet is a 1.2-litre petrol with 68 bhp—which means it’s not going to set your hair on fire, but it will return up to 57 mpg combined. Insurance? Group 3—about as low as you can get without riding a pushbike. ULEZ? Yes—Euro 6 petrol, so you can drive straight through London’s cameras without handing over your lunch money to the Mayor. When new, this little Ka would have cost about £8,900, and for that you get air conditioning, electric windows, remote locking, and seats that are actually surprisingly comfortable for a small city car. It’s light, nimble, and a breeze to park—perfect for first-time drivers who want something easy to live with. Now, the important bit—this car is a CAT S. That means at some point in its life, the insurance company decided it had sustained structural damage. We don’t know why, but it’s been repaired, is back on the road, and drives as it should. The bonus? It’s priced accordingly—so you’re not paying full whack. The Ford Ka might be small, but it’s tough, easy to maintain, and cheap to run. And for someone looking for their first set of wheels, it’s about as good as it gets.
