2017 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · GK67 AEJ

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy asset, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. Although the most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 59,399 miles resulted in an initial failure, the immediate retest passed without recorded defects. This suggests a specific issue was identified and rectified quickly by the owner, rather than a pattern of chronic mechanical neglect or structural failure which persists across the previous annual inspections. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-mileage usage profile, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. Between May 2023 at 46,506 miles and January 2026 at 59,399 miles, the vehicle covered 12,893 miles, indicating steady but light use. The lack of significant mileage spikes between the annual intervals suggests the car has not been subjected to high-intensity motorway stress. This low mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to corrosion on braking surfaces if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Given the clean history of the MOT advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Examine the rubber bushes in the suspension and control arms for cracking or tearing, as these can perish over nine years regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for pitting or surface corrosion, as low-use vehicles often suffer from oxidation on the rotors. Since the January 2026 failure was not specified in the summary, verify the specific reason for that initial fail to ensure it was a minor consumable like a light bulb or wiper blade rather than a deeper mechanical fault.
