2019 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · EP19 OGT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 35,479 miles. The maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean early history to emerging mechanical issues. While the car continues to pass, the persistence of a slightly distorted offside front road wheel across two consecutive tests indicates a recurring defect that has not been addressed by the previous owner. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old Ford EcoSport, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2023 (18,050 miles) and June 2024 (27,503 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles in a single year, followed by a more recent pace of roughly 8,000 miles over the last eighteen months. This low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which aligns with the recorded age-related wear rather than mileage-related friction. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front alloy wheel for structural cracks or rim deformation, as the tester flagged this distortion in both December 2024 and November 2025. The June 2024 record also highlighted thin front brake pads and perishing tyres on the rear axle, suggesting that the vehicle has suffered from age-related dry rot due to infrequent use. Check the sidewalls for deep cracking and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, as the low mileage has not prevented the braking system from oxidizing.
