2022 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · SD72 LGG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its successful MOT test on September 8, 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable as there are no recorded mechanical failures or structural defects in the available history. However, the advisory note regarding all four tyres being cracked and perished indicates a lapse in preventative maintenance related to the age of the rubber rather than mileage-based wear. At a recorded mileage of 18,173 miles, this EcoSport has covered an average of approximately 4,543 miles per year over four years. This low usage suggests the car was likely used for short urban trips or remained stationary for extended periods. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and oxidation on braking surfaces, as evidenced by the recent tyre condition. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres, as the perished condition noted in the 2025 test necessitates immediate replacement regardless of tread depth. The inspector should also check for corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to rust and seizing. Examining the suspension bushes and rubber boots for cracking is essential to ensure that the long periods of standing have not compromised the integrity of the underbody components.
