2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · AF18 VPT

The 2018 Ford EcoSport presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 10 February 2026 at 64,172 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects logged, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the available history from May 2023 to February 2026, every completed test passed cleanly with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening wear or recurring defects. Mileage has accumulated at a near-typical rate for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 41,392 miles in May 2023, rising to 49,673 by May 2024, then 55,874 in February 2025 and 64,172 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 8,000 miles per year with no sudden jumps or long dormant periods. The sparse but consistent entries show no gaps exceeding twelve months, and the clean sheets suggest previous owners kept basic consumables and emissions within test limits. With no advisories or failures on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust, or structural corrosion across five years, the underlying mechanical condition appears sound for its age. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake disc thickness, underbody rust, and tyre sidewall condition, as MOT passes confirm only minimum legal standards on the test day. The duplicated 10 February 2026 entry with a fail and no defects warrants a check of the DVSA portal to confirm it was a paperwork error. Aside from that, the history supports a low-risk purchase provided an independent pre-sale check verifies the absence of latent wear not captured by the annual test.
