2017 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Petrol · AJ66 TVF

The 1498cc petrol engine typically sits in a moderate insurance group for this class of vehicle. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and urban versus motorway use, but as a petrol engine, it should be more efficient in city driving than larger diesel counterparts.

Annual running costs will include standard maintenance for a Ford SUV. Expect typical costs for tyres, brakes, and annual servicing. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,100-£1,400 depending on your insurance profile and annual mileage.

Focus your inspection on the areas that typically require attention on compact SUVs, such as suspension components and tyre tread depth. Although the 2025 MOT passed with no defects, the fact that a failure was recorded at the same mileage (38,777) suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified just prior to the pass.

Check the condition of the black paintwork for any signs of oxidation or scratches, and inspect the interior for wear consistent with 38,000 miles. Ensure all electronic components and the air conditioning are functioning correctly, as these are common points of interest in used Ford models.
