2018 FORD ECOSPORT1.5L Diesel

The Ford EcoSport stands roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. The tester passed the vehicle on 20 September 2025 at 45,621 miles and recorded no defects. Earlier examinations on 10 September 2024 at 38,374 miles, 16 September 2023 at 31,632 miles, and 17 September 2022 at 22,579 miles each yielded passes with zero advisories. The official record shows no recurring or escalating mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for an eight-year-old car. From the 17 September 2022 reading of 22,579 miles, the odometer advanced to 31,632 by 16 September 2023, then 38,374 by 10 September 2024, and 45,621 by 20 September 2025. Annual increments of roughly 6,700 to 8,000 miles indicate consistent but below-average driving. The record lists a fail and a pass on the same date of 17 September 2022 at identical mileage with no defects logged; this duplicate entry points to an administrative re-test rather than mechanical neglect. Previous keepers sustained annual test discipline without apparent deferral. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. The tester flagged no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, yet low mileage coupled with possible standing periods can conceal perished rubber and incipient underbody rust. Inspect front suspension arms for cracked bushes, check rear coil springs for fractures, and confirm brake calipers are not binding after static storage. Assess exhaust emissions during a cold start and examine tyre sidewalls for age cracking even where tread remains legal. The absence of recorded faults implies measured ownership, but independent verification of structural integrity remains warranted before purchase.
