2015 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · KC15 AAF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 28 January 2026 at 67,440 miles. However, the history reveals a period of instability regarding compliance. The car failed two consecutive tests within a single week in January 2026, covering only 90 miles between the failures, before finally achieving a pass. While the most recent result shows no defects, the previous failures in that window suggest that mechanical or safety issues required immediate remedial work to bring the vehicle up to minimum legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 59,612 miles and the January 2026 test at 67,440 miles, the vehicle covered 7,828 miles. This represents a slight increase in usage compared to the historical average but keeps the drivetrain and rubber components within a reasonable wear bracket. The low overall mileage suggests the vehicle has not seen heavy commercial use, which typically avoids premature wear on engine components but can sometimes lead to dry seals or suspension bushings. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the areas that likely caused the rapid-fire failures in early 2026. Since the record does not list the specific reasons for those failures, it is vital to verify if the repairs involved lighting equipment, brake efficiency, or minor suspension components. Check for signs of mounting corrosion on the exhaust system and structural subframes, as these are common points of failure for this model despite low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers to ensure the recent pass was not a temporary mask for underlying mechanical neglect.
