2020 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · M20 SAE

The vehicle achieved a valid MOT certificate at its most recent test on 27 August 2025, following an initial failure for front brake pads worn below the 1.5mm legal minimum. This defect was rectified, as the same test record shows a subsequent pass with no further defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with three consecutive passes surrounding this single, consumable-item failure that was promptly addressed. No structural corrosion, suspension defects, or exhaust emissions failures appear in the recorded history. Mileage accumulation is consistently low for the vehicle’s age. From 10,102 miles in September 2023 to 19,598 miles in August 2024 represents approximately 9,500 miles in one year, and from there to 31,249 miles in August 2025 adds another 11,600 miles. This averages roughly 5,200 miles annually over six years, indicating light use. The sparse but consistent data points show no periods of rapid or extreme accumulation, suggesting the car has not endured high-mileage wear cycles. However, prolonged intervals between use can accelerate deterioration in rubber components and cause brake disc corrosion. A buyer should physically inspect the braking system in detail, given the recorded pad wear at 31,249 miles. Verify current front pad thickness exceeds 1.5mm and examine discs for scoring or severe pitting from potential corrosion during low-use periods. Check all four corners for binding calipers or uneven pad wear. Inspect suspension bushes and rubber gaiters for age-related perishing, a common issue on low-mileage vehicles that spend extended time stationary. Finally, assess tyre age and sidewall condition, as original tyres on a six-year-old car may be past their serviceable life despite adequate tread depth. The MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults, but these specific items warrant confirmation.
