2024 Ford Escape 1.5L Petrol · AE73 ETJ

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. In the January 2025 test conducted at 978 miles, the Ford Escape passed the MOT with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance history up to that point, as all mechanical and safety components met the required DVSA standards at the time of the test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a two-year-old vehicle, with only 978 miles recorded. This averages to approximately 489 miles per year, which suggests the car has seen very light use or remained in storage for extended periods. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it can also lead to issues related to parts that have not been exercised regularly. Because the MOT history is sparse and lacks recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on signs of long-term standing. A buyer should check for flat spots on the tyres and potential corrosion on the brake discs resulting from a lack of use. It is also advisable to inspect rubber components such as suspension bushes and hoses for dry cracking or degradation, which can occur regardless of mileage due to age.
