2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · E5 LME

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the transition from a clean record in 2025 to advisory notes in 2026 indicates the beginning of a consumable replacement cycle. While the vehicle maintained a perfect record for several years, the latest test flagging thinning front brake pads suggests that components are now requiring attention to prevent future failure. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,660 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns with roughly 4,000 to 4,300 miles between each annual test. For instance, the car covered 4,384 miles between April 2024 and 2025, and a similar distance in the preceding interval. This low mileage suggests light mechanical use, but it also means that rubber-based components and suspension elements may suffer from age-related degradation rather than high-mileage wear. A buyer should prioritize the front braking system during a physical inspection. The April 2026 advisory for thin pads and worn discs indicates that the tester did not find them excessively worn at the time of testing, but they are nearing the end of their service life. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for surface corrosion on the brake discs, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary for long periods. Ensuring the nearside stop lamp remains fully functional is also prudent, as this previously caused a failure in 2023.
