2016 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · FM16 VRK

The 2016 Ford EcoSport presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 64,712 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults and no recurring issues across its recorded history. Annual mileage has stayed low for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,471 miles per year against the recorded 64,712 miles. The DVSA entries run consecutively from 2 August 2021 at 25,571 miles through to the 2025 test, with yearly increments of 7,665, 6,362, 5,607, 10,607, and 14,532 miles. The step up in the final two years suggests heavier recent use, but the overall record remains sparse and clean with no flagged wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the increased mileage in the last two cycles. The MOT record never listed corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, yet standing periods common with low annual use can hide underbody rust not caught in a pass. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades, as these consumables fall outside the clean test outcomes. Given the absence of advisories across all five tests, prior owners appear to have kept the EcoSport to a basic compliant standard rather than addressing wear preemptively. The lack of recorded faults implies competent if minimal upkeep, not a refurbished drivetrain. A pre-purchase check of structural integrity and drivetrain mounts remains sensible before purchase.
