2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · SL68 AAE

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent September 2025 test at 12,994 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing a consistent maintenance record. No advisories or failures were noted across the entire history, suggesting the previous owner prioritized regular servicing. This pattern indicates the car has been well-maintained, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns requiring immediate attention. The mileage progression aligns with an average of 1,624 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The 2021 test at 5,361 miles marked the first inspection, followed by incremental increases of 2,624, 2,041, 1,584, and 1,386 miles in subsequent years. These gradual accumulations suggest controlled usage rather than sporadic or heavy driving. The absence of rapid mileage spikes reduces risk to wear-prone components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. However, the low total mileage may mean certain parts, such as rubber bushings or brake discs, have not experienced typical aging effects, warranting closer scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil springs, as prolonged low-mileage use can lead to stiffness. The underbody and exhaust should be checked for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was stored for extended periods. Brake components, including calipers and discs, require verification for binding or uneven wear, as infrequent use can cause surface rust or seized mechanisms. Tyres should be assessed for dry rot, and the battery’s age and condition should be confirmed, as long inactivity may degrade its performance. Overall, the MOT history confirms no critical faults, but physical inspection remains essential to validate the vehicle’sTrue mechanical state.
