FORD ECOSPORT2016 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of deferred minor mechanical repairs. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 73,729 miles passed, it highlighted recurring issues with front brake discs and a distorted rear wheel. These specific faults were also noted during the November 2024 test at 42,189 miles, indicating the owner allows component wear to persist across multiple inspections rather than performing preventative replacement. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. However, there is a significant discrepancy in usage patterns between November 2023 (61,635 miles) and November 2024 (42,189 miles). The recorded drop of nearly 20,000 miles in the log suggests either a recording error or a change in odometer. Since that point, the vehicle has covered 31,540 miles in just eighteen months, representing a sharp acceleration in use compared to previous averages. A buyer must physically inspect the front braking system, as the pitting and scoring on the nearside and offside discs have persisted for over two years. The distorted nearside rear road wheel remains a recurring advisory since 2023 and should be checked for impact damage or uneven tire wear. Additionally, verify the parking brake adjustment to ensure the excessive lever movement flagged back in late 2023 has been properly rectified, as this component previously caused a test failure.
