2020 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · AE70 LDK

The 2020 Ford EcoSport presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 4 June 2025 at 23,062 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three subsequent annual examinations all cleared without advisories. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults and no recurring mechanical concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 23,062 miles against an approximate six-year age, equating to roughly 3,844 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 9,698 miles at the June 2023 tests to 16,450 miles by 21 May 2024, then to 23,062 miles by June 2025. This low annual accumulation implies light use, though the car failed on 7 June 2023 at 9,698 miles before passing cleanly the next day with no defects logged, a pattern suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The clean pass record gives no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition and brake caliper freedom, since low-mileage vehicles left standing can develop seized handbrake mechanisms or tyre sidewall cracking unseen by the test lane. Given the sparse and defect-free history, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Verify service intervals match the low mileage, and confirm the 2023 failure cause with DVSA to rule out any omitted defect entry before purchase.
