2019 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · EP68 CFE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 24,780 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory as the minor issues identified in 2025 were clearly addressed, resulting in a clean sheet for the latest annual inspection. This suggests that the current owner is reactive to advisory warnings rather than allowing faults to persist into failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,540 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, moving from 8,157 miles in 2022 to 24,780 miles in 2026. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can mask age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluids, which is common when a car sits stationary for extended periods between trips. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres, specifically the 2024 advisory regarding sidewall perishing on the nearside front outer. Given the low mileage, the rubber may dry rot or crack despite having sufficient tread depth. The buyer should also verify the brake system for surface corrosion on the discs, which is highly likely given the 2025 report of thin front pads and the lack of frequent use. Checking the nearside rear light unit to ensure it is securely seated is also necessary to confirm the previous defect was properly rectified.
