2016 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · ST66 BZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest inspection in May 2026 at 91,785 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of mechanical neglect. While the November 2023 test revealed failures regarding exhaust emissions and parking brake efficiency, the most recent record indicates these issues were rectified. The application of underbody sealing during the last test suggests the owner is taking proactive steps to manage the structural integrity of the chassis. At 91,785 miles over ten years, the EcoSport averages approximately 9,200 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages. There is a significant mileage gap between November 2022 (50,616 miles) and November 2023 (81,468 miles), where the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles in just fourteen months. This burst of heavy use likely explains the accelerated wear seen on suspension components and the braking system in the subsequent 2025 advisories. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the front-end geometry. The January 2025 test flagged play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint and wheel bearing, and while these were not mentioned in the latest test, they are components prone to progressive wear rather than sudden failure. Additionally, the November 2022 report of corroded rear coil springs warrants a visual check for structural fractures or thinning metal, as corrosion on springs can lead to sudden snapping under load.
