2018 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Diesel · GD68 YKG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 09 June 2026 at 28,265 miles which resulted in no recorded defects. This follows a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The mechanical trend remains well-maintained as the car has avoided any major failures or recurring defects during the testing period. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,533 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 18,034 miles and June 2024 at 25,121 miles, the car covered only 7,087 miles. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long intervals between periods of use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or the stagnation of brake fluids. A single minor concern appeared in the record during the 11 June 2025 test at 26,798 miles, where the tester flagged the offside front tyre for slight perishing or cracking. This is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where tyres dry out before the tread depth reaches legal limits. Since this was not mentioned in the subsequent 2026 test, the owner likely replaced the tyre. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres to ensure no further sidewall cracking exists, as the low mileage suggests they may be older than the tread indicates. It is also worth checking the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The absence of structural corrosion or suspension advisories in the history suggests the chassis has remained in a dry environment.
