2022 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · AP22 FMF

The 2022 Ford EcoSport is currently roadworthy with a clean MOT history. The December 2025 test at 11,528 miles recorded no defects, indicating the vehicle is in good standing. The trend is stable and resolving; the May 2025 test at 10,882 miles carried advisories for restricted views and rear tyre perishing, but these were cleared within six months. This suggests the previous owner addressed minor wear items promptly rather than leaving them to deteriorate. At roughly 2,882 miles per year, this vehicle has accumulated significantly fewer miles than a typical four-year-old car. The gap between the May 2025 test and the December 2025 test covers approximately seven months with only 646 miles added, confirming low utilization. Low mileage on a four-year-old car often reflects lighter use or periods of standing rather than aggressive driving. While this reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, it does not negate the need to check for corrosion or rubber degradation that can occur even with limited use. A buyer should physically inspect the offside rear tyre for surface cracking or perishing, as this was the specific advisory from the May 2025 test. Although the December test cleared the defect, rubber compounds can degrade regardless of usage, so visual checks are prudent. The tester also noted restricted views from covers and shields; verify that these panels do not obscure indicators or mirrors. Finally, given the low annual mileage, examine the underbody and suspension bushes for signs of corrosion or dry rot, as standing vehicles often suffer from these issues even when mechanical wear is minimal.
