2019 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · FR19 XRE

Tyre tread condition is the most prominent issue in the MOT record, with the 2024 test flagging the nearside front, off‑side front and nearside rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit. Apart from that, the car has cleared each annual inspection without a failure, the only other notes being a windscreen damage advisory in 2025 and a child‑seat obstruction advisory in 2026, both of which did not affect the pass status. At 52,828 mi the mileage averages roughly 7,500 mi per year, which sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a 2019 model. The MOT history shows a full set of yearly tests with no gaps, indicating the odometer reading is consistent with the recorded service intervals and there have been no periods of prolonged inactivity that might raise concerns about fluid degradation or battery health. When inspecting the vehicle, pay particular attention to the three tyres highlighted in 2024. Verify tread depth is above the 1.6 mm legal minimum, examine the sidewalls for cuts or bulges, and feel for any vibration or pulling under load that could signal uneven wear or internal damage. The windscreen should be examined for any cracks or chips beyond the minor damage noted; watch for spreading fractures that could compromise the driver’s view zone. Remove any child seat from the nearside rear to allow a full visual check of the adult seat belt and its attachment points, ensuring the belt retracts smoothly and shows no fraying. Although no brake or suspension faults have been recorded, the mileage and age suggest these wear items merit a focused assessment. During a test drive listen for any juddering or squeaking when applying the brakes, and feel for any pull to one side or looseness in the steering that could indicate worn pads, discs, or bushings. Check the suspension travel for excessive bounce or clunking over bumps, which would point to deteriorated shock absorbers or bushings. Addressing any of these symptoms now will help confirm the car remains mechanically sound beyond the MOT paperwork.
