2017 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Diesel · BP67 ADU

The most recent MOT on 2026‑05‑05 recorded a pass with no defects, confirming the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend shows improvement after the failures of late 2021 and early 2022, with every test from March 2022 onward returning a clean pass and the car stabilising in overall condition. Mileage data reveals a rapid accumulation between the May 2024 test at 56 133 miles and the May 2025 test at 88 888 miles – a rise of roughly 32 755 miles in a single year, which exceeds typical annual usage for a 2017 compact SUV. Earlier annual jumps (2020‑2021 and 2021‑2022) also indicate high mileage increments. The record is sparse beyond the 2025 figure, leaving the present odometer reading uncertain and raising questions about actual usage or possible odometer inconsistency. A buyer should inspect the front nearside tyre tread depth against legal limits, examine the front brake hose for twisting or deterioration, verify the wiper blade clears the windscreen effectively, and test the dipped‑beam headlamp operation. Also check suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and look for chassis corrosion given the vehicle’s age. These checks will confirm whether the past advisories and failures have been fully resolved. The recent MOT indicates no outstanding defects, yet the history of tyre wear, brake‑hose twist, and lighting faults demands a thorough pre‑purchase audit. The accelerated mileage pattern warrants a road test to assess brake feel, suspension comfort, and overall drivability, and if possible, a visual verification of the odometer’s consistency to ensure the mileage aligns with the vehicle’s service record.
