2017 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · YT67 AEZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 29 August 2023 at 44,605 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car met all legal standards at that time. This follows a period of clean results dating back to 2020, suggesting the vehicle remains maintained without significant mechanical failures or recurring structural issues. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,956 miles per year. Between the August 2020 test at 25,097 miles and the August 2023 test at 44,605 miles, the car covered roughly 19,500 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber elements. The single failure recorded on 1 September 2022 at 38,647 miles suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately to allow for the subsequent pass. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related wear that mileage, such as cracking in suspension bushes or perished brake hoses, which often occur when cars remain stationary for long periods. Since the last recorded MOT was nearly three years ago relative to the current date, the vehicle is significantly overdue for a test. Focus should be placed on the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and the age of the tyres to ensure the low usage has not resulted in flat rot or uneven wear.
