2016 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Diesel · PJ65 XPB

The 2016 Ford EcoSport presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 4 March 2025 at 75,907 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in February 2024 at 70,242 miles and October 2021 at 60,876 miles also passed clean. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at roughly 7,591 miles per year against a ten-year lifespan, a typical use rate for this age of vehicle. The odometer moved from 60,876 miles in October 2021 to 66,347 miles by October 2022, then to 70,242 by February 2024 and 75,907 by March 2025, reflecting steady rather than sporadic accumulation. A notable gap exists between the October 2022 and February 2024 entries, with no test logged for 2023, though the February 2024 pass confirms the vehicle remained in use. The October 2022 record shows a fail and pass on the same day at 66,347 miles with no defects listed, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues suggests previous owners kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as MOT passes with no defects do not measure remaining tyre depth or worn suspension components outside the test threshold. Given the clean history and ordinary mileage, the EcoSport shows no evidence of deferred maintenance or serious mechanical risk in the official record. Pre-purchase checks should focus on confirming the 2023 testing gap did not conceal private repairs and verifying actual tyre tread and wiper condition at point of sale.
