2015 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Petrol · DU65 WCD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding its suspension components. While the most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 63,662 miles passed, it initially failed due to an inoperative reversing lamp and corrosion on all four coil springs. The fact that the tester flagged corrosion across all four springs despite a previous advisory on just the rear pair in 2024 suggests a progressive issue with surface rust rather than an isolated component failure. At 63,662 miles over 11 years, this EcoSport has averaged approximately 5,787 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for its age. The mileage data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 7,400 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but long periods of sitting can often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake assemblies, which may align with the recurring corrosion issues noted in the record. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension to ensure the corrosion reported on the coil springs has not progressed to structural fractures. The record shows a history of rear coil spring corrosion dating back to 2023, which expanded to all four corners by the end of 2025. Beyond this, the front brake system requires attention as the tester noted the pads were wearing thin at 56,284 miles in 2024. The buyer should also verify the nearside mirror for damage, as it was flagged as a defect in the most recent tests, and ensure the reversing lamp is fully functional following the previous failure.
