2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · YA68 XTW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a recent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 August 2025 at 54,817 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car is currently in a sound mechanical condition. This follows consecutive clean results in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,850 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 13,333 miles covered between November 2022 and November 2023, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 11,247 miles in the subsequent two years leading up to the 2025 test. The total mileage of under 55,000 miles is below the national average for this age, which typically reduces the expected wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples. While the record is largely clear of advisories, the single failure on 20 November 2023 at 43,651 miles warrants a brief investigation into the specific defect that caused the initial rejection. Since the vehicle passed the immediate retest without further notes, the issue was likely a minor consumable item. A buyer should still focus their physical inspection on checking for signs of corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from brake oxidation or seized calipers if they sit stationary for extended periods. A physical check of the tyre age and the condition of the brake discs remains advisable to ensure the rubber has not perished despite the low recorded mileage.
