2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · CU68 YCZ

The 2018 Ford EcoSport presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 44,152 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior three annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The only blemish is a failed test on 25 September 2024 at 33,765 miles, reversed and passed one day later on 26 September 2024 with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or minor rectification matter rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 44,152 miles against an eight-year age, equating to roughly 5,519 miles per year and confirming light use. The odometer moved from 22,530 miles at the 29 September 2022 test to 27,875 miles in September 2023, then 33,765 miles by September 2024, and 44,152 miles by August 2025. The jump of over 10,000 miles in the final year is the largest single-period gain, yet total accumulation remains low for the cohort. The clean advisory history across all tests indicates no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust, or structure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low-mileage vehicles left standing for long periods suffer from perished rubber components, seized calipers, and surface corrosion invisible to a pass-only MOT. The one-day fail and pass in September 2024 warrants a check of the rectification invoice to confirm no latent defect was masked. Given the sparse but clean data, focus the viewing on brake disc condition, coil spring integrity, and underbody structural integrity for rust. The EcoSport's low annual use means consumables may be aged rather than worn, so assess wiper blades, tyre sidewall cracking, and fluid degradation before purchase.
