2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · GL68 PXM

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the March 2026 test at 24,701 miles, with the MOT passed but advisory notes on front‑off‑side and rear‑near‑side tyres showing slight damage and cracking. The pattern of results suggests a generally stable maintenance record; the only failure recorded was a 2021 engine MIL fault, which has not recurred in subsequent annual tests. Mileage averages roughly 3,100 miles per year, indicating very light use for a 2018 model. The log shows a modest increase of 1,679 miles between July 2021 and March 2022, then a steady climb to 19,256 miles by July 2022, and a gradual rise to the current 24,701 miles in March 2026. No abrupt spikes appear, and the two 2021 entries at identical mileage confirm minimal running during that period. A prospective buyer should examine the tyres closely, confirming tread depth and assessing the extent of the reported cracking; replacement may be imminent to avoid future failure. Verify that the engine management light remains extinguished and that no hidden fault persists from the 2021 issue. Although no brake or suspension advisories appear, a visual inspection of brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes is prudent given the vehicle’s age. Finally, a thorough check for corrosion on body panels and undercarriage will ensure structural integrity has not been compromised during any periods of low use.
