4 How it compares with other 2015 Kas

Against every Ford Ka first used in 2015 and tested in Great Britain in the 2025 test year (13,067 first-attempt tests) — the most recent full year available.

MeasureThis carTypical 2015 KaWhat it means
Pass rate, first attempts4 of 9 (44%)68.4% in 2025Lower than the group figure
Fails, first attempts4 of 926.4% of first testsHigher than the group figure
Fixed during the test (PRS)15.2% of first tests1 on this record
Mileage at its latest test (25 Sept 2026)136,775 miles48,036 (middle half 32,899–64,247)Above the middle half; more than twice the upper quarter
Clean passes (no advisories)2 of 929.9% of first testsLower than the group figure

"Typical" is every Ford Ka first used in 2015, any fuel or use — not adjusted for mileage. This car's figures are from its own record only. A first attempt is any test not within 10 days after a failed test of this car. A first attempt whose faults were all put right during the test counts as fixed during the test (PRS), not as a fail, as in DVSA's figures.

About this page

This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government sources: DVLA (loaded when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA") for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel, emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here identifies the keeper.

What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer guide on the free car check.

The DVLA and DVSA data on this page contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. SortedCars is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the DVLA or DVSA.

This page shows vehicle information only — no keeper details and no vehicle identification number. Built on 19 October 2026 from the DVSA bulk MOT record as of 27 September 2026; DVLA fields load when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA".
