2015 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Diesel · DC08 ADE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 4 August 2025 at 71,193 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While the vehicle suffered a failure in August 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass a year later suggest that the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related faults rather than allowing minor issues to escalate into mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-mileage usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between August 2022 (57,768 miles) and August 2025 (71,193 miles), the vehicle covered 13,425 miles. This low rate of use typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and seals. However, the regularity of the annual testing suggests the vehicle has been in regular use without long periods of neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and braking system, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or perished suspension bushes due to inactivity. Given the failure in August 2024 at 66,607 miles, it is necessary to verify that the specific cause of that failure was properly resolved. The vehicle's age makes a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and underbody essential, as structural integrity can degrade over time regardless of the low mileage driven.
