2019 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · EY19 FCD

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-16 recorded a pass at 111,954 miles, but this followed a failure just six days earlier with multiple safety-critical issues. The 2025-06-10 failure included offside headlamp malfunctions, incorrect nearside headlamp aim, severely reduced light intensity likely due to improper bulb fitting, and critical brake system faults (excessive binding and parking brake efficiency below 50%). These defects indicate significant mechanical and safety risks that would require immediate attention. A recurring pattern of headlamp-related failures is evident, with both 2025 and 2024 MOTs highlighting light intensity issues and incorrect bulb fitting. Tyre cuts were also noted in 2024, though no such defects appeared in the 2025 pass. The brake system showed severe issues in 2025, including service brake binding, which could compromise stopping power. These problems suggest inconsistent maintenance or underlying component wear. The trend shows mixed outcomes: while the 2025 pass indicates some repairs were made, the severity of the 2025-06-10 failure and the prior 2024-06-21 failure (which also included headlamp and tyre issues) imply ongoing reliability concerns. The vehicle’s condition does not clearly show improvement, but the lack of defects in the 2023 MOT and the 2024 pass suggests periods of stability. However, the recent brake and lighting faults are serious and require scrutiny.
