2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · MA18 WPE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a maintenance trend that remains stable despite minor recurring electrical oversights. The most recent inspection on 28 February 2026 at 54,422 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a non-functional nearside stop lamp, however, this was rectified immediately to secure a pass with no further defects. This indicates that while basic lighting checks are occasionally neglected prior to testing, the mechanical and structural components are currently meeting minimum standards. The mileage profile is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 test at 43,717 miles and the March 2025 test at 50,026 miles, the car covered 6,309 miles, followed by another 4,396 miles leading up to the February 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular usage patterns, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of engine seals and braking components compared to low-mileage vehicles. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the electrical system, as the history shows two separate failures related to lighting—specifically the dipped beam headlamp in 2024 and the stop lamp in 2026. While these are minor consumable faults, they highlight a lack of pre-test preparation by the previous owner. Given that the record shows no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake corrosion, or structural integrity, the focus should remain on verifying the actual state of the tyres and the condition of the brake discs to ensure no degradation has occurred between test intervals.
