2021 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · RF70 FBJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent MOT history indicates a lapse in preventative maintenance. While it passed the test on 27 October 2025 at 46,478 miles, it followed a failure just three days prior at 46,469 miles. This failure revealed a significant mechanical issue with the parking brake being inoperative on one side and failing efficiency requirements. The fact that these faults were rectified immediately before the pass suggests a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive servicing. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 30,589 miles and November 2024 at 40,945 miles, the car covered over 10,000 miles in nine months, showing regular usage. The clean records from the early 2024 and late 2024 tests indicate that the vehicle was previously in good mechanical condition until the issues surfaced in 2025. A buyer should specifically inspect the parking brake system to ensure the October 2025 failure was fully resolved and not merely adjusted with a temporary fix. The record also noted a stone chip in the offside front windscreen and a faulty nearside washer jet; these should be checked for further cracking or leaks that could necessitate replacement. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or suspension issues in the history, the focus should remain on verifying the state of the brake components and the integrity of the glass during a physical inspection.
