2016 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Petrol · SV16 JWD

The 2026‑03‑24 MOT at 85,386 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle’s current condition meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards and that the maintenance trend remains stable since the 2023 failure. Since the 2023‑03‑15 failure, which also showed no recorded defects, the owner has maintained a consistent mileage increase of roughly 5,000 to 10,500 miles per year, moving from 62,572 miles in early 2023 to 85,386 miles by March 2026; the pattern is typical for a ten‑year‑old vehicle and shows no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the rear and front brake calipers and discs for binding or corrosion, verify the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for rust, and check the exhaust system for leaks or excessive emissions; while tyre tread and wiper blades are consumable items, the absence of recorded defects suggests that major mechanical risks are unlikely. Overall, the MOT history demonstrates a stable maintenance record with no recurring serious faults, supporting the view that the Ecoboost is presently roadworthy, though a physical inspection of the highlighted components remains essential before purchase.
