2020 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · MK02 AAK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT test in July 2025 at 13,920 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in rubber-related components over recent years. While the car has passed without mechanical failure, the recurring presence of tyre perishing and surface damage across the last two tests indicates that the vehicle is suffering from age-related degradation rather than wear from use. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,320 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between the November 2022 test at 453 miles and the July 2024 test at 7,689 miles, representing over 7,000 miles driven in twenty months. This low-frequency usage profile explains the lack of mechanical wear recorded in early tests but also suggests the car likely sits for long periods, which directly leads to the drying of tyre rubber despite high remaining tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres to check for the deep sidewall cracking noted in the 2024 and 2025 records. Because the car sits stationary, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure calipers have not seized due to inactivity. The deteriorated rear registration plate requires replacement as the July 2025 test flagged it as a minor compliance issue. Beyond these consumable items, the lack of structural or suspension defects suggests the core mechanical remains remain sound due to the low mileage.
