AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle displays a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass on 6 October 2025 at 38,008 miles. This most recent test indicates that previous concerns have been effectively rectified, leaving no outstanding defects or advisories. The maintenance trend is positive, as the vehicle has transitioned from a period of identified tyre and wheel issues back to a fault-free status, suggesting that the current owner has addressed the necessary repairs to maintain compliance. With a recorded mileage of 38,008 over eight years, the vehicle averages approximately 4,750 miles annually. This low-usage pattern is consistent throughout the history, with steady, incremental increases recorded between the 20,018 miles noted in October 2021 and the current figure. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule, which confirms that the vehicle has been consistently presented for annual inspections rather than left standing for extended periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the wheel and tyre assemblies, specifically checking the nearside front alloy for any lingering signs of the distortion flagged in September 2024. While the tyres were noted as damaged or perished during that same inspection, the subsequent clean pass suggests they have been replaced. Verify the current tread depth and sidewall condition on all four corners to ensure the replacement tyres are of a suitable quality. Given the age and low mileage, examine the suspension components and brake discs for signs of surface corrosion, which can occasionally occur on vehicles that see infrequent use. Inspect the inner edges of the front tyres for uneven wear patterns, as this can be a residual indicator of tracking misalignment. Provided these areas are sound, the vehicle history suggests a well-maintained example that has avoided chronic mechanical neglect.

Our Verdict

This 2018 Ford EcoSport is a solid find with a clean record of consecutive first-time MOT passes and remarkably low mileage for its age. Aside from a few tyre and wheel advisories noted in late 2024 that warrant a quick visual check, this diesel compact SUV presents very well.

When inspecting this EcoSport, verify that the four tyres and the nearside front alloy wheel noted in the September 2024 MOT advisories have been properly addressed or replaced. Check the service book for regular oil changes, as the 1.5-litre EcoBlue diesel engine relies heavily on clean lubrication for the timing belt and turbocharger longevity. Use the 2024 advisory history as a helpful negotiation point if any of the rubber or wheel issues remain unresolved.

Equipped with the 1.5-litre diesel engine, this EcoSport should deliver respectable fuel economy well into the upper 50s or low 60s miles per gallon on longer runs, making it economical for commuters. Road tax will sit at standard rates for post-2017 diesel vehicles, and insurance falls into a modest group for compact SUVs. Typical annual maintenance should remain manageable thanks to the car's low mileage and healthy mechanical history.

Pay close attention to the tyres and wheels, specifically referencing the September 2024 MOT advisory which pointed out cracking and perishing on both rear tyres, edge wear and cracking on the offside front tyre, and a slightly distorted nearside front road wheel. Inspect the alloy wheels for any unseen curb damage or slow air leaks. Finally, listen for any suspension rattles during a test drive, as speed bumps can take a toll on front suspension components.

First registered in October 2018, this black Ford EcoSport features a 1499cc diesel engine and has covered just 38,008 miles by its October 2025 MOT test. Its MOT history is spotless with zero recorded failures across five tests, demonstrating that previous owners have kept on top of maintenance. The mileage progression is consistent, averaging roughly 5,400 miles per year, putting it well below the UK national average.

While specific aggregate model data is not listed, this individual example's flawless MOT pass rate indicates strong fundamental durability when properly maintained.
