2019 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · AV69 BGO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a history of structural impact that requires close scrutiny. In the most recent test on 7 December 2024 at 3,949 miles, the car passed despite noted damage to the nearside front sub-frame and repairs to the nearside front vehicle structure. While the trend shows the vehicle passing tests, the area nature of structural defects across multiple years indicates a significant impact early in the vehicle's life. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, having covered only 3,949 miles total. This averages to approximately 564 miles per year. There are significant gaps between test dates, such as the interval between 1,596 miles in November 2022 and 2,255 miles in November 2023. This low-usage profile often correlates with potential issues related to the degradation of rubber components, dry seals, or brake fluid-related corrosion from long periods of stationary operation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the nearside front sub-frame and floorpan to evaluate the quality of the repairs noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The records specifically mention heavy seam sealer and paint on the floorpan in 2022, which prevented a full inspection of the structural integrity in that area. Additionally, the offside steering rack gaiter, which was a failure point in 2022, should be checked for signs of tearing or grease leakage. The cut on the nearside front tyre noted in late 2024 should also be monitored for further degradation.
