2017 FORD ECOSPORT1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness record, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 July 2025 at 54,545 miles with zero recorded defects. This outcome mirrors the results from the 2024 and 2023 tests, indicating a consistent standard of maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. The single failure recorded on 5 July 2024 appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly, as the vehicle passed a retest only five days later without any repairs noted, suggesting no underlying structural or mechanical issues were present at that time. Total mileage accumulation remains modest for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. The progression is linear and predictable, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized brake components or perished rubber seals. The gap between the 2022 test on 26 April and the 2023 test on 5 July reflects a slight shift in the testing cycle, but the consistent annual mileage increases demonstrate that the vehicle has remained in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended durations. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these components often begin to show signs of wear as a vehicle approaches the ten-year mark. While the MOT history is clean, it does not account for the current state of consumable items such as brake pads and discs, which may have reached their service limit since the last inspection. Verify the status of the timing belt, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine architecture that falls outside the scope of an MOT test. Given the lack of advisory notices in the history, the vehicle appears to have been treated with care, but a thorough check of the undercarriage for any early signs of surface corrosion remains a prudent step before purchase.
