2016 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · DG16 CEN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on June 16, 2025 at 33,913 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the initial failure on that same day indicates a lapse in pre-test inspections. The tester flagged three distinct defects including an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system, a defective nearside windscreen wiper, and a failed nearside stop lamp. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately to achieve a pass suggests the owner is willing to address safety-critical reactive faults once identified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,391 miles annually. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the car covered only 6,286 miles, confirming a pattern of light use or long periods of stationary. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts, fluid seals, and surface corrosion on brake discs due to lack of regular friction cleaning. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection to check the nearside windscreen for cracking or pitting, as the previous wiper failed to clear it effectively. Given the low usage, it is vital to inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or perished rubber which often occurs regardless of sufficient tread depth. Verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system is now functional, as this was a specific point of failure last year. Additionally, examine the undercarriage for surface rust and seized calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often sit in damp environments without the drying effect generated by frequent driving.
