2015 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Diesel · AF65 HRD

The 2015 Ford Ecosport presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 66,440 miles resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passes across the last three annual tests, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a solid standard with no recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage progression tells a straightforward story. Between the September 2023 pass at 52,690 miles and the September 2025 pass at 66,440 miles, the car covered roughly 13,750 miles in two years, averaging just under 7,000 miles annually. That sits comfortably within typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long periods of disuse or odometer anomalies. The record is clean and evenly spaced. The history contains two failed tests, both immediately followed by passes on the same day or within a day at the same mileage. The 2023 and 2025 failures show no recorded defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues rather than genuine mechanical faults. These are not indicators of neglect or unresolved problems. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake lines, as these can develop between annual tests. Check the condition of tyres, brake discs, and pads for uneven wear that might hint at alignment or suspension bush degradation. The 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine should be listened for timing chain rattle on cold start, and the manual gearbox checked for notchiness or clutch slip. A short test drive over broken surfaces will reveal any developing suspension wear not yet severe enough to trigger a test failure.
