2019 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · EA69 CME

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 44,571 miles passed despite a recorded minor exhaust gas leak from the rear silencer. While the vehicle has passed its last two tests, the history of recurring failures related to tyre condition and electrical warnings suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults once they reached the point of legal failure or significant advisation. At 44,571 miles over seven years, the EcoSport has averaged approximately 6,367 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate annual usage. The mileage accumulation between tests is steady, with roughly 5,600 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 6,200 miles before the 2025 test. This low mileage generally implies less wear on major drivetrain and engine components, though it does not offset the mechanical issues noted in the record. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension and tyre alignment. The records from 2023 and 2024 highlight repeated tyre failures, including exposed cords on the offside front and uneven wear on the nearside front edges. These symptoms frequently indicate a tracking alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been rectified. Additionally, the persistent TPMS warning light noted in both 2023 and 2024 needs a diagnostic check to determine if a sensor is faulty or if a leak is being ignored. The minor exhaust leak identified in the October 2025 test requires physical inspection to determine if it is a simple gasket failure or early corrosion of the baffle. Given that the engine undertrays were previously flagged as insecure in 2023, verify that all underbody shielding is now securely fastened to prevent damage to lower components while driving. While the structural integrity appears uncompromised, the recurring nature of minor mechanical faults suggests a thorough pre-purchase inspection is necessary.
