2018 FORD ECOSPORT1.0L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 July 2025 at 46,480 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, though the most recent test required immediate intervention. The car failed initially on the same day due to a nearside front tyre tread depth below 1.6mm and front brake pads worn below 1.5mm. These were corrected promptly to achieve the pass. The mileage is low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,810 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase in usage, rising from 22,863 miles in June 2022 to 46,480 miles by July 2025. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest commercial use or significant periods of stagnation. A buyer should focus on the front-end consumables. The August 2023 test at 30,951 miles flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit, and the July 2025 failure repeated this issue. This pattern suggests the previous owner tended to run tyres and brake pads to the absolute legal minimum before replacing them. While not a mechanical failure, it indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to basic upkeep. Inspect the current condition of the brake discs for scoring or lip formation, as the pads were worn to a critical 1.5mm in the last test. Check the remaining tread depth and brand consistency across all four tyres to ensure the July 2025 repairs were carried out comprehensively. The absence of any structural corrosion or suspension advisories across five years of testing is a positive indicator of the chassis integrity.
