Our Verdict
This 2018 Ford EcoSport presents a reass
When inspecting this EcoSport, verify that the periodic tyre degradation noted in earlier MOT tests—specifically weather cracking across multiple tyres between 2023 and 2025—has been fully addressed with a matched set of quality replacements. Check the physical documentation for proof of routine servicing, as MOT history only confirms safety compliance at the time of testing rather than ongoing mechanical maintenance. Additionally, inspect the orange exterior paintwork for any stone chips or car park dings typical of a high-riding urban crossover.
Negotiate on the price if the current tyres show any signs of age-related perishing, given the vehicle's history of tyre advisories. Confirm that all electrical features, including the offside rear indicator noted as slightly discoloured in 2023, are operating correctly. Ensure the 998cc EcoBoost engine idles smoothly and that there are no unusual noises from the wet timing belt system, which requires careful adherence to oil change intervals.
The 998cc petrol engine in this EcoSport sits in a moderate insurance group and offers respectable fuel economy for a compact crossover, making it suitable for both city and occasional motorway driving. Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) will align with standard petrol car rates for vehicles registered after April 2017.
Maintenance costs should remain predictable if routine servicing is kept up to date, though attention must be paid to consumables like tyres and brakes. Estimated annual running costs, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, are expected to fall in the range of £1,100-£1,400 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Pay close attention to the tyres during your physical inspection. The MOT history recorded weather cracking on both rear tyres in August 2025, and all four tyres were noted for cracking or perishing in August 2024, alongside nails found in both rear tyres back in 2022. Check the tread depth and manufacture dates on all four corners to ensure they are free from perishing.
Inspect the lighting units around the vehicle, keeping in mind the 2023 advisory for a slightly discoloured offside rear direction indicator. Verify that all exterior bulbs shine brightly and orange indicators show the correct amber hue. Finally, examine the suspension and steering components during a test drive to check for any undue knocks or rattles over bumps.
First registered in August 2018, this orange Ford EcoSport features a 998cc petrol engine and has covered 33,277 miles by its July 2026 MOT test. The vehicle's MOT record shows a clean pass rate with five consecutive first-time passes, though minor advisories relating to tyres and a discoloured indicator have been logged in past years. Overall, the recorded testing history indicates consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards.
Aggregate reliability data for the Ford EcoSport is unavailable, but this individual vehicle's MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing inspections without major defect classifications.
