2020 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · YF20 AEZ

The 2020 Ford EcoSport presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 42,211 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual passes show no advisories or faults. The only blemish is a failed test on 23 November 2023 at 32,529 miles that recorded no defects, immediately followed by a pass on 24 November 2023 at the same mileage, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. The odometer climbed from 29,756 miles at the December 2022 test to 42,211 miles by November 2025, averaging roughly 7,035 miles per year against the vehicle's six-year life. That figure sits within typical bounds for this age of car. The record shows no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps; the year-on-year increments of around 2,700 to 5,000 miles indicate steady, light-to-moderate private use. The clean sweep of passes aside from the anomalous 2023 failure points to consistent basic upkeep by previous keepers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage may have allowed components to sit unused and develop corrosion or perishing. The absence of advisories across five tests means no recurring wear items such as tyres, wiper blades, or exhaust emissions were flagged, so no pattern of skipped consumable replacement is evident. The same-day fail-and-pass in November 2023 warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code to confirm it was not a concealed defect later rectified. Given the unbroken pass sequence since late 2023 and typical mileage, structural integrity and drivetrain appear sound on paper. Verify the bodywork and underbody for rust at the physical viewing, as MOT cleanliness at low mileage does not rule out moisture-related degradation from standing periods.
