2017 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · CE17 CVG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-09 recorded a pass with no defects, maintaining a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three years. Prior tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a duplicate entry for 2023-07-19 shows a failed test with no defects recorded, which may reflect a technical error or administrative inconsistency. No structural, braking, or emission issues were flagged in the valid passes, suggesting the car has met regulatory standards recently. The mileage context is unclear due to insufficient data, but the 2022 MOT at 26,724 miles implies a low annual average of ~5,000 miles, which may indicate infrequent use. This could reduce wear on components like tyres and brakes but might also suggest periods of inactivity, increasing risks of corrosion or fluid degradation. The absence of mileage updates in later tests complicates assessing long-term wear patterns, leaving potential gaps in the vehicle’s maintenance narrative. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older SUVs, and check for rust on underbody panels or chassis seams. Although no brake issues were recorded, a physical check of caliper binding and brake disc thickness is advisable. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be reviewed, as minor leaks or faults might not trigger MOT failures but could affect performance or legality. The 2023 failed test’s ambiguity warrants verification with the DVSA or a pre-purchase inspection to confirm no unresolved issues.
