2016 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · GD16 UPS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 August 2025 at 71,308 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed or have not progressed. This follows a clean result from June 2024, suggesting the car currently meets all minimum legal standards. Mileage accumulation remains consistent with typical usage patterns for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per annum. Between June 2021 and August 2025, the car covered 31,081 miles, which represents a steady usage rate rather than long periods of neglect or heavy strain. The interval recorded between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows regular operation, which generally mitigates the risk of dry-rot in rubber components or seizing often associated with long stationary periods. A buyer should pay specific attention to the nearside rear wheel bearing which was flagged with slight play in June 2022 at 52,937 miles. While subsequent tests did not repeat this fault, a physical inspection is required to ensure the bearing has not developed further play or begun to hum under load. The 2023 test also noted a deteriorated front registration plate and obstructions in the drivers' view, though these were cosmetic or equipment-related rather than mechanical failures. Given the lack of structural corrosion or recurring brake issues in the record, the vehicle shows a history of basic reactive maintenance.
