2023 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · YJ23 XSM

The 2026‑06‑16 MOT at 15,770 miles resulted in a full pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the required roadworthiness standards. The recent test therefore reflects a stable maintenance trend with no evidence of worsening faults. The mileage trajectory shows a modest increase from 15,057 miles on 2026‑01‑27 to 15,770 miles five months later, averaging roughly 143 miles per month, which aligns with typical usage for a three‑year‑old vehicle that has accumulated about 5,257 miles annually. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension arm ball joint dust cover noted on 2026‑01‑27 for signs of wear or moisture ingress, inspect the near‑side suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or damage, verify the condition of the near‑side front tyre cut and ensure the tyre tread depth is adequate, and confirm that the reversing lamp lens is intact and not hazy. Finally, the absence of any recurring major defects suggests that previous owners have maintained the vehicle adequately, but a thorough visual inspection of the chassis for rust, a check of the brake discs and pads for wear, and a test of the steering and suspension for play are essential before purchase.
