2015 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · CF65 ENU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass on December 17 2025 at 43,756 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent improvement after a period of recurring defects. While the car failed its test in December 2024 due to lighting, tyre wear, and suspension issues, the most recent inspection indicates no recorded defects, suggesting that the owner addressed the outstanding mechanical and safety concerns identified in the previous year. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent annual use, moving from 33,474 miles in November 2022 to 43,756 miles by late 2025. This low usage often results in less wear on engine internal components, but it frequently correlates with the degradation of rubber components and the development of corrosion on exposed surfaces, which aligns with the worn bushes and corroded springs found in the history. A prospective buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, as corroded coil springs were a persistent issue noted from 2022 through 2024. Although the 2025 test passed without comment, the recurring nature of corrosion on these components suggests the vehicle is susceptible to environmental damage. The rear axle swivel pins and bushes were flagged as slightly worn across multiple tests, so these should be checked for excessive play or knocking noises which would indicate the need for imminent replacement. The braking system also requires scrutiny because front brake discs were recorded as pitted and scored in both 2023 and 2024. While these were likely replaced following the December 2024 failure, the previous history of oil misting on the rear shock absorbers noted in 2022 should be monitored to ensure the seals have not progressed to a significant leak. Given the low mileage, verify that the brakes are not seizing, which is a common issue for vehicles that sit stationary for long periods.
