2020 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · FT69 BAU

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent downward trend in tyre condition. While the June 2026 test at 47,121 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged two tyre-related advisories: the nearside front tyre is worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, and the nearside rear tyre shows signs of cracking or perishing. This follows a similar advisory in October 2025 at 46,727 miles regarding the nearside front tyre, suggesting a recurring pattern of neglecting tyre replacement or failing to monitor tread depth and rubber degradation. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 7,854 miles per year, moving from 24,576 miles in January 2023 to 47,121 miles by June 2026. The data shows a significant jump of nearly 14,000 miles between October 2024 and October 2025, which is the most intensive period of use recorded. Aside from this, the mileage progression remains steady, indicating regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing legal limits or showing sidewall cracking. The repeated mention of edge wear on the nearside front tyre suggests a potential wheel alignment issue or worn suspension components, such as bushes or tie rods, which may require professional attention. You should also check the windscreen washer system and lighting, as the October 2024 failure indicated these minor electrical and fluid components had previously lapsed in maintenance. While no structural corrosion or brake issues have been flagged, the recent focus on consumables suggests the owner may be reactive rather than proactive with preventative maintenance.
