Ford Ecosport ST Line (2022)
2022 Ford Ecosport ST Line
CarHunch is tracking 165 2022 Ford Ecosport ST Line vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2022 EcoSport ST-Line is a serious red flag: just 2.4% of the 165 vehicles tested achieved a first-time MOT pass, versus the 80% UK average—that's a 97.6% failure rate that suggests either systemic manufacturing issues or a cohort heavily affected by similar faults. The petrol engines show a 0% pass rate, and while no dangerous defects were recorded, the near-total failure pattern points to a specific recurring problem rather than random wear.
With only 15,930 miles average mileage at test, these are virtually new cars failing their first MOT, which is highly unusual and demands investigation into what defect is affecting this batch. Before considering this model, contact Ford directly about any recalls or known issues affecting 2022 ST-Line production, and insist on a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic focusing on whatever caused this cohort's failures.
We have 165 2022 Ford Ecosport ST Line vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2022 Ford Ecosport ST Line
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
