2019 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · EP68 CFG

The vehicle currently fails the MOT, as the most recent test on 2026-03-31 was a PASSED test at 41,505 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that the vehicle has not undergone a full MOT cycle since 2024, suggesting a significant lapse in maintenance that has not been corrected. The test results show a clear deterioration in condition over time, moving from a clean 2023-2022 baseline to severe wear on the rear and offside tyres by 2025, which confirms a recurring structural hazard rather than a temporary issue. The mileage accumulation during the 2025-2026 period appears inconsistent, with the vehicle reaching 34,595 miles in April 2025, a date that falls well before the current date of 2026-06-17. This rapid accumulation suggests that the owner may have been in active driving or maintenance tasks during this time, or that the mileage figure is an estimate rather than a precise record. The gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests, where the vehicle was not tested again, is a critical indicator of whether the owner has been diligent or if the vehicle has been parked without a MOT for over a year. Given the recurring faults in the rear and offside tyres, the vehicle requires immediate inspection for structural integrity and brake components. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and worn offside front tyres, which are serious mechanical issues that could lead to a complete failure if not addressed. The buyer should verify that the brakes are in good condition, that suspension bushes and springs are present, and that exhaust emissions are within legal limits. A full MOT is required to establish roadworthiness, and the vehicle must be tested again at a date that reflects the current wear condition of these specific components.
