This 2018 Ford has 6 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 13,689 miles. The mileage is low and consistent, but the owner's history of neglecting wear items is a significant concern.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,073 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent MOT in March 2026 recorded 49,989 miles.
Things to check
- The 2018 Ford Escape has a known engine design flaw (coolant leaks, cylinder wall degradation) affecting 1.5L EcoBoost engines.
- The 2018 Ford Escape has a known head gasket failure (blown head gasket) affecting 2.0L EcoBoost engines.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded across 6 tests, indicating the vehicle has always been roadworthy.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,073 miles/year) suggests light use and less wear on components.
- The most recent MOT in March 2026 passed with no failures, showing current roadworthiness.
- The MOT is valid until March 2027, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
