This 2018 Ford has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 22,827 miles. While there's a history of coolant leaks on the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, the current vehicle is a 1.5L petrol, making it a low-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,547 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- One major emissions failure (Feb 2026) and two related advisories (Feb 2025) suggest past emissions issues.
- The 2018 Ford Escape has a known history of coolant leaks on 2.0L EcoBoost engines, though this car is a 1.5L petrol.
- A single minor brake defect (Feb 2026) was noted but appears to have been addressed.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,547 mi/yr) for its age, indicating light use.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects across its MOT history.
- The 1.5L petrol engine avoids the known coolant leak issues associated with 2.0L EcoBoost engines.
- The most recent MOT (Feb 2026) passed after addressing a minor emissions advisory.
