2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · L33 LBH

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 58,608 miles passed with three significant advisories regarding tyres being worn to the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear. This follows a pattern seen in previous years where consumables were left until their limit, suggesting the owner only addresses faults once they are flagged by the MOT tester. The mileage profile is consistent with typical low-use urban driving, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between July 2021 at 32,123 miles and July 2025 at 58,608 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 26,000 miles. While the relatively low mileage suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, the record shows that rubber-based components like tyres and brake pads are suffering from age-related degradation rather than high-mile wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front braking system, as the tester flagged thin brake pads in both 2022 and 2023. The recurring uneven tyre wear noted in 2024 and 2025 strongly indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require professional investigation to prevent further premature tyre failure. Additionally, the perishing and cracking of tyres noted in 2024 suggests the rubber compound is becoming brittle due to age despite the low mileage, necessitating a full set of new tyres regardless of tread depth.
