2017 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · NU17 AAV

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile following a period of intermittent mechanical issues. The most recent MOT on 9 January 2026 at 66,708 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pass in May 2024 where the tester noted pitted front brake discs and nearside front wing damage. The absence of advisories in the latest test suggests that previous issues, particularly regarding braking components and bodywork, have been addressed or have not progressed. The vehicle has covered 66,708 miles over approximately nine years, averaging roughly 7,412 miles per year. This represents typical, moderate usage for a 2017 model. The mileage accumulation appears consistent, with a notable 10,000-mile interval between the March 2022 and April 2023 tests. The data shows a steady progression without signs of long-term abandonment or excessive high-speed motorway wear, which supports the current condition of the consumables. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems to ensure previous faults remain resolved. The April 2023 failure at 60,567 miles highlighted corroded nearside and offside rear coil springs, which required rectification to achieve a pass. While the 2026 record is clean, inspecting the rear suspension for surface corrosion or structural integrity is prudent. Additionally, the history of pitted and scored front brake discs, first noted in March 2021 and recurring in May 2024, warrants a check of the current disc thickness and pad life. The record also indicates a history of tyre management issues, including perishing noted in March 2022 and an incorrectly fitted tyre in April 2023. Although the most recent tests show no tyre-related defects, a thorough check of the sidewalls and tread depth across all four tyres is necessary. Finally, the nearside front wing damage noted in both 2023 and 2024 should be inspected for any underlying structural issues or poorly executed cosmetic repairs.
