Source: DS Auto Labs analysis of DVSA's anonymised 2025 MOT test results (Open Government Licence v3.0): 111,657 first-time tests of Ford EcoSport cars of all ages (test class 4, cars and light vans). A pass means a clean first-time pass; a car that failed and was repaired at the test station before passing counts as not passed, and aborted tests are excluded. Age is the car's age at the 2025 test.
What to know
In 2025, Ford EcoSport cars passed their MOT first time 77.1% of the time, across 111,657 tests. That is 8.4 points above Ford's overall brand average of 68.7% and 4.7 points above the national average of 72.4%.
Age explains much of the difference between models. Pass rates fall steeply as cars get older, for every make, so a model with many old cars on the road looks worse than it is, and a recent model looks better. This compares the Ford EcoSport with the typical UK car of the same age.
| Car age | Ford EcoSport | All UK cars | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-5 years | 85.2% | 87.2% | 23,868 |
| 6-9 years | 76.7% | 79.3% | 74,329 |
| 10-13 years | 63.6% | 67.9% | 12,710 |
Allowing for the age mix of the cars tested, a typical UK car would be expected to pass about 79.8% of the time. The Ford EcoSport passed at 77.1%, which is 2.7 points below that expected rate.
