2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · DA18 UKM

The 2018 Ford EcoSport presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the clean pass recorded on 2 May 2025 at 21,737 miles. The tester logged no defects at that examination. Prior to this, the vehicle failed the test on 1 May 2025 at the identical mileage of 21,737, yet the DVSA record shows no defects cited for that failure, indicating an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The preceding annual tests from 2022 through 2024 all returned passes with no advisories, confirming a consistent clean history across the recent four-year span. The odometer shows 21,737 miles against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 2,717 miles per year. The 2022 test at 14,664 miles, the 2023 test at 17,645 miles, the 2024 test at 20,067 miles, and the 2025 tests at 21,737 miles reveal a steady annual accumulation near 2,500 to 2,700 miles with no abrupt jumps. This low yearly use suggests extended standing periods are plausible. Sparse recorded data limits deeper wear inference, though the absence of advisories across all entries points to light-duty operation rather than neglected high-mileage strain. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely static storage, as rubber components and calipers degrade with inactivity rather than rotation. The 1 May 2025 failure with zero defects warrants verification that the V5C and DVSA portal align and that no suppressed advisory exists. Examine underbody structural integrity for corrosion and check exhaust emissions against the 1.0-litre EcoBoost norm during a cold start. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the chain from April 2022 to May 2025. The owner maintained test compliance annually. Given the clean record, focus the viewing on consumable age: tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition may predate the low mileage and require renewal despite passing the visual MOT threshold.
