Ford Ka Ka Mk1 (1996–2008) KA-MK1

The first-generation Ka (1996-2008) was built at Valencia, Spain and sold across the EU market for an unusually long twelve-year run; no source opened during research independently confirmed a Russian-market launch date, so this should be treated as unconfirmed rather than asserted either way.

No independently sourced engine-scoped diagnostic evidence has been confirmed yet for either its original Endura-E or its post-2002 Duratec engine, so this record is a configuration reference rather than a reliability assessment.

Assessing an individual example means relying on this specific car's own documented service history, and confirming from the documents which of the two engine eras it belongs to.
