2016 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Petrol · YS66 FSG

The 2025‑11‑10 MOT at 72,994 miles passed with only a minor offside obligatory mirror defect (3.3 (b) (i)), indicating a stable maintenance record; no serious mechanical failures have been recorded since the 2022 test. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 24,310 miles in November 2019 to 72,994 miles by November 2025, averaging about 10,400 miles per year, with noticeable jumps of over 6,000 miles in the 2022‑2023 and 2023‑2024 intervals, suggesting increased usage and potentially accelerated wear on consumables. Recurring tyre perishing (5.2.3 (d) (ii)) and edge wear (5.2.3 (e)) across multiple years point to inconsistent tyre replacement or prolonged storage, while the persistent offside mirror damage reflects a lack of routine cosmetic upkeep; brake wear noted in 2019 has not re‑appeared, implying that pads and discs have been addressed or replaced. A buyer should therefore inspect tyre condition for cracks, perishing or uneven wear, verify the integrity of the offside mirror mounting, examine suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for play or corrosion, check brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, and look for any structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis.
