2020 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · A11 HAX

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, following a clean MOT pass on 29 December 2025 at 27,882 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is currently improving, as the significant issues identified in early 2025 were subsequently addressed. This recent success suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying mechanical faults once flagged during the testing process. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,647 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between April 2024 and April 2025, where the car covered only 631 miles in a year. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts due to age, which is evident in the 2025 test results. A buyer must perform a physical inspection of the tyres and suspension components despite the low mileage. The April 2025 test at 27,121 miles flagged all four tyres for cracking, perishing, and sidewall damage, indicating the rubber has aged out despite sufficient tread depth. Additionally, the tester noted a severely deteriorated nearside front constant velocity boot. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, an inspector should verify that the boot was replaced and that no grease is leaking from the drive shaft joint, as failure here would lead to premature mechanical failure.
