2015 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · BD65 EYW

The 2025 MOT for the 2015 Ford Ecosport (39,329 miles) showed pass , but included advisories for offside front seat belt webbing damage and corroded coil springs. These are defects that require attention, as seat belt integrity and suspension components are critical for safety. The wear on brake discs was noted as “not excessive,” but this aligns with earlier reports of brake pad wear and defects . Recurring issues include brake pad wear and seat belt damage , with the 2024 MOT highlighting front brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick (a defect ) and brake disc wear . While the 2025 MOT described brake discs as “not excessively worn,” the pattern suggests gradual wear that could worsen without regular inspection. Tyre wear and defects (e.g., perishing, cracking) also appear in 2022 and 2023 entries, indicating potential storage-related issues. The condition trend shows stable but ongoing wear on brakes and tyres, with defects in suspension and seat belts. No major failed tests since 2024, but the 2024 failed test included multiple defects , including a critical brake pad thickness issue. The very low mileage (3,575 miles/year) suggests either light use or long periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion and material degradation (e.g., tyres, seat belts). The low mileage relative to age (11 years) may mask some wear from infrequent use, such as unstable suspension components or perishing rubber parts.
