2015 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Diesel · CA64 WXE

The 2015 Ford EcoSport’s most recent MOT test on 2025-06-04—just over a year ago—confirms it passed without any recorded defects, despite the duplicate entries suggesting an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. This aligns with the previous two tests in 2024 and 2023, all of which also cleared without fail. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the official record suggests no obvious pattern of neglect or deferred maintenance, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, but the repeated failed tests at identical mileages warrant scrutiny of whether the vehicle was ever genuinely inspected or if the record is incomplete. The recorded mileage progression of 8,300 miles annually—from 64,959 miles in June 2023 to 91,305 miles in June 2025—falls within the expected range for a vehicle of this age, though it implies consistent use rather than prolonged storage. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage, which would otherwise raise concerns about deferred maintenance or extended periods off the road. However, the absence of intermediate MOTs—such as those from 2022 or 2021—means there is no data to confirm whether earlier tests were similarly clean or if any critical components were overlooked. Given the lack of advisories or failures in the available record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear areas that are not routinely captured in MOT tests. The suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for excessive play or corrosion, as these components often degrade incrementally without triggering MOT failures. Brake calipers and pads, while not flagged here, may require assessment for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven at higher speeds. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, should also be checked, as rust can compromise safety-critical elements without immediate MOT consequences. Finally, the tyres—though not recorded in this history—should be inspected for uneven tread wear, which could indicate alignment issues or suspension wear.
