2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · AF18 AEU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness trend, concluding with a pass on 25 March 2026 at 46,852 miles. While the record shows a failure on 24 March 2026, the absence of recorded defects suggests this was likely an administrative or testing error rather than a mechanical failure. The history is exceptionally clean, with no advisories or failures noted across the five tests conducted since 2023. The vehicle has covered 46,852 miles over eight years, averaging approximately 5,856 miles annually. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has seen light usage or intermittent periods of inactivity. The steady, predictable accumulation of miles between the 2023 test at 33,210 miles and the most recent 2026 test indicates consistent, if limited, operation. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline to suggest prolonged storage that might lead to seized components or perished seals. Prospective buyers should focus on inspecting consumable components that are not always captured during an MOT, such as the condition of the brake pads and discs, which may be nearing their service limit despite the clean test history. Given the vehicle's age, a physical check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the integrity of the exhaust system is advisable, as these items often show signs of age-related degradation even when passing standard emissions and lighting checks. The lack of historical advisories provides a baseline, but a thorough inspection of the underbody for corrosion remains necessary to confirm the structural integrity of the chassis. Buying score 85, risk level Low.
