Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Ford EcoSport presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass trend. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 30,596 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean certificates dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,824 miles per year. The distance covered between the September 2022 test at 18,386 miles and the August 2025 test at 30,596 miles shows a steady, low-intensity usage pattern. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. The absence of advisories across multiple years is uncommon and suggests a high level of preventative care or very light duty. However, the low annual mileage increases the risk of components degrading due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber seals, flat spots on the tyres, and potential brake caliper seizing or disc corrosion caused by long periods of standing. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 13 September 2023 at 24,077 miles, though no specific defects were listed in the provided data. While the overall history is clean, a physical inspection should still verify the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the underbody to ensure that low mileage has not masked slow-developing corrosion.

Our Verdict

This 2018 Ford EcoSport is a sensible option for buyers seeking a low-mileage compact SUV. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes with no defects recorded in the last two years.

When viewing this 1.0L EcoSport, ensure you check the service history to confirm that oil changes have been performed regularly, as the small-capacity turbocharged engines require strict maintenance. Given the low mileage of 30,596, check that the tyres and brake pads show appropriate wear for a vehicle of this age rather than just mileage.

Negotiate based on the 2023 MOT failure; while it was resolved immediately, it is worth asking for clarification on what caused the failure. Because this is a 2018 model, check for any remaining manufacturer warranty or if any significant work has been carried out recently to maintain its current clean MOT status.

The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger SUVs. Expect relatively modest fuel consumption for a crossover of this type, suitable for mixed urban and motorway driving.

Maintenance costs for Ford models are generally predictable, though small-capacity turbo engines can sometimes require specific parts. An estimated annual running cost would cover fuel, standard servicing, and insurance.

Focus your inspection on the recent MOT history. Although the 2023 failure had 'no defects recorded' at the time of the pass, you should verify the nature of that failure with the seller.

Check the condition of the red paintwork for any signs of fading or stone chips, and inspect the interior for wear, noting that the mileage is quite low for an eight-year-old vehicle. Ensure all electronic components and the small-capacity engine run smoothly without unusual noises.

Registered in September 2018, this red Ford EcoSport has covered 30,596 miles, which is relatively low for its age. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, including one failure in September 2023 which was rectified on the same day. Since that failure, the vehicle has achieved two consecutive clean passes without any recorded defects.

No aggregate reliability data is available for the Ford EcoSport to provide a specific statistical trend.
