2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · CU68 HNB

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a pass recorded on 2025-12-04 at 11,448 miles with no defects. The record shows a failed test on the exact same day at the same mileage, also with no defects recorded, which typically indicates an aborted test or a procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical failure. Prior tests on 2025-01-03 at 8,246 miles, 2024-03-18 at 7,850 miles, and 2023-03-16 at 6,053 miles all passed cleanly, demonstrating consistent compliance. The mileage pattern reveals exceptionally low usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,431 miles annually. Between March 2023 at 6,053 miles and January 2025 at 8,246 miles, the car covered just 2,193 miles over nearly twenty months. A shift occurred in late 2025, with the mileage jumping from 8,246 miles in January to 11,448 miles by December, covering 3,202 miles in under a year. This recent uptick contrasts sharply with the previous pattern of severe underuse. Given the sparse MOT history and prolonged periods of minimal driving, a buyer must inspect components prone to age-related deterioration rather than mileage-driven wear. Check the condition of all rubber suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for perishing, as low mileage often leads to flat-spotting and cracking before the tread wears down. Examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, which commonly afflicts vehicles left stationary for extended periods. Inspect the exhaust system for moisture-induced corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody. The lack of recorded defects confirms basic mechanical compliance, but the usage pattern demands a thorough physical inspection for degradation caused by standing idle.
