2014 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Diesel · AE64 PLV

The 2014 Ford EcoSport demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, concluding with a clean pass on 26 August 2025 at 81,858 miles where the tester recorded zero defects. The absence of recent advisories or mechanical failures suggests the vehicle currently meets required roadworthiness standards. A minor anomaly exists in the 2024 record, where a test on 22 August at 71,821 miles shows a failure outcome despite no defects being logged, which typically indicates an administrative error or an aborted test rather than a mechanical fault. Covering 81,858 miles over roughly twelve years, the EcoSport averages approximately 6,822 miles annually, aligning with typical light usage. The mileage progression remains consistent through the mid-years, stepping from 46,776 miles in September 2021 to 62,592 miles in August 2023. A notable shift occurs between August 2024 and August 2025, where the odometer jumps from 71,821 to 81,858 miles. This 10,037-mile increase over twelve months signals a recent transition to significantly heavier daily use compared to the preceding sub-8,000-mile years. Despite the clean MOT record, the recent spike in mileage warrants a focused physical inspection. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as increased mileage accelerates consumable wear. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for deterioration, given the vehicle's age and the heightened recent usage. Structural integrity around the subframes and sills must also be checked for corrosion, a common issue for SUVs of this era. The tyre tread depth and condition should be verified, as higher annual mileage subjects them to faster degradation.
