2019 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · FJ69 OPK

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on March 3, 2026 at 40,201 miles resulted in a pass with only minor cosmetic defects regarding discoloured rear direction indicators. This represents a significant improvement over the 2022 test, which flagged thin nearside front brake pads, suggesting that the owner has addressed necessary wear items as they arise during annual testing. The mileage profile is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per annum. Data shows steady usage patterns, with a progression from 28,482 miles in August 2022 to 40,201 miles by March 2026. This low annual mileage typically indicates less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components or brake corrosion. The record shows clean gaps between annual tests, indicating the vehicle has not suffered from major mechanical failures during these periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and lighting components to ensure the issues noted in 2022 and 2026 have been fully rectified. While the rear indicators were only noted as discoloured, a check for moisture ingress or lens degradation is advisable to prevent future MOT failures. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the tyres for cracking and the suspension bushes for perished, as these parts often age faster than they wear down on vehicles that are driven infrequently.
