2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · EX18 WOC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglect regarding minor consumable components. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 66,508 miles passed, it carried repeat advisories for perishing both rear tyres. This mirrors the issues from the August 2024 test at 54,125 miles, indicating that the owner has failed to address rubber degradation despite multiple years of warnings. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 15,000 miles between the May 2022 test at 25,496 miles and the August 2023 test at 40,687 miles, followed by another 13,400 miles in the following year. This steady usage suggests the car is driven regularly rather than sitting stationary, which explains the age-related wear on the tyres and the brake pads seen in the later records. A buyer must inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the history of cracking and perishing suggests the rubber is reaching its structural limit regardless of tread depth. The 2024 failure for thin front brake pads necessitates a physical check of the remaining discs and pads to ensure they have been replaced since then. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding front tyres worn on the edge indicates a potential history of alignment issues that should be verified to prevent premature wear on new rubber.
