2017 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · BT67 GXM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a consistent pass record despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent inspection on 22 September 2025 at 41,208 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor, rectifyable issue was addressed immediately before the retest. The overall trend indicates that the vehicle meets legal safety and environmental standards across the last three years of testing. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 34,888 miles and the October 2024 test at 38,933 miles, the car covered 4,045 miles, while the subsequent interval saw 2,275 miles covered by September 2025. This low usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to rubber component degradation or brake caliper corrosion due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension assembly and brake hardware, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished bushes or seized sliding pins rather than mechanical wear. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural corrosion, the failures in 2023 and 2025 indicate that specific components require periodic attention to pass the tester's scrutiny. Verify the condition of the tyres and the state of the brake discs to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in surface spotting or uneven pitting.
