2019 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · DK69 NHY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a consistent history of passing results across the last four tests. The most recent inspection in July 2025 at 19,434 miles showed a pass despite an advisory for an offside front tyre worn on the edges. This indicates a stable trend following the February 2024 test where multiple tyres were flagged for perishing, suggesting that the owner has since addressed rubber-related degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,776 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between October 2022 and February 2024, where the car covered only 3,053 miles in sixteen months. While this low-use pattern reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it often leads to age-related deterioration of materials. The 2024 failure regarding cracked and perishing tyres is a direct consequence of the vehicle sitting stationary for long periods rather than being driven high annual mileage. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all tyres, as the history of recurring cracking and uneven wear suggests the rubber may be failing prematurely regardless of tread depth. The February 2025 advisory noting that undertrays prevented a full inspection is significant; the structural integrity of the lower chassis has not been fully verified for corrosion or damage in the latest test. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check the brake discs for surface rust and pitting, which occurs frequently on vehicles that are not used regularly.
