2017 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · AJ66 MFU

The 2017 Ford EcoSport presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 15 January 2026 at 47,149 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in January 2025 at 42,659 miles and January 2023 at 32,123 miles also passed cleanly, showing no advisories or recurring mechanical faults across the available history. The recorded mileage of 47,149 over roughly nine years equates to about 5,239 miles per year, which is low for the vehicle's age and suggests light use or extended standing periods. The DVSA data shows steady annual accumulation of around 5,000 miles between 2023 and 2026, with no sudden jumps or gaps that would imply heavy commercial use or neglected storage. The only anomaly is a failed test on 15 January 2024 at 37,468 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable items not always captured at test, notably brake disc condition, suspension bushes, and coil springs given the low mileage and possible prolonged idle periods. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be checked where road salt exposure may have occurred despite the absence of tester advisories. The history implies a previous owner who maintained basic annual test compliance, though the January 2024 fail with no recorded defect points to clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than deferred maintenance. No worsening pattern or serious mechanical risk emerges from the supplied records.
