2015 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · HG65 AEC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-11 at 63,936 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this follows a failed test on the same date and mileage, also with no defects. Previous MOTs in 2024 and 2023 showed similar patterns, with passes and fails recorded at 56,977 and 49,297 miles respectively, again without recorded defects. This suggests the vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness profile, though the repeated failures without identified issues may indicate administrative errors or unrecorded minor faults. No significant mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the MOT history. The vehicle’s mileage of 63,936 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 5,812 miles annually, which is below the typical usage for its age. The MOT records align with annual testing, showing consistent mileage increments of around 7,000 miles between tests. This low annual usage may indicate periods of limited operation, which could affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers if not regularly exercised. However, the absence of corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity issues in the records suggests the vehicle has been stored or used in conditions that minimised wear. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly for worn bushes or coil springs, given the low mileage and potential inactivity. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop during prolonged periods of inactivity. Corrosion in underbody areas and the exhaust system warrants scrutiny, as low usage may leave these components vulnerable to environmental exposure. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the lack of recorded defects in multiple failed tests highlights the importance of a hands-on assessment to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
