2018 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Diesel · FY18 FDM

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 March 2026 at 59,435 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The previous owner has successfully maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in older SUVs across five consecutive testing cycles. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Between the March 2022 test at 28,613 miles and the March 2025 test at 51,456 miles, the car covered 22,843 miles, showing steady use without excessive neglect. The jump of 7,979 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests aligns with this annual usage profile, which generally reduces the stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. Since the record shows no recurring advisories for suspension bushes or brake corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for this age bracket. A buyer should check the condition of the tyres and rubber seals for cracking, as low-annual mileage usage can sometimes lead to material hardening over time. Despite the lack of recorded structural issues, checking the underside for any emerging surface rust on the exhaust or mounting points remains a prudent step to ensure the clean history matches the physical state of the chassis.
