Ford Ka Van road tests and consumer car reviews

Ford Ka Van 2003

I have just managed to pick up my 2003 Ford Ka van on a 53 plate after looking for one for ages. I am impressed with everything about it and is ideal for my pat testing business. Mine belonged to a meter reading company and has silghtly high milage but is in superb condition with a full service history. But a petrol van this small pays £110 for 6 months road tax and £200 for 12 months road tax, I feel this is the only down side. This van is ideal for businesses that don’t carry lots of tools or equipment like mine, I find it sad that Ford have decided not to continue the van as I would have bought a new one, looks like a peugout is my next van. Anyway hope this helps anyone thinking of buying a used one.

I’ve had my Ka Van for only 3 weeks and can’t understand why I didn’t get one earlier. Love it. Ride,handling,50+mpg. For what I need it for it fits the bill. All I can say to others out there is..get one.

Additional: In December 09 my van was written off after an accident when somebody T-Boned it as I passed a carpark entrance. I have now managed to get another one, younger, cleaner & with fewer miles on the clock. Highly recommend these vans to anyone with a small company - Alan Grist from Hampshire

I’ve had my Ka Van since new and it’s been a delight with only a few minor niggles ever having gone wrong with it. I think it’s a real shame that Ford have stopped producing this instead of keeping on a good product and improving on it; I would not have hesitated to buy another. Instead my business will probably go to Citroen next time. A really good little vehicle and if you can find one in good nick and low mileage I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
