2017 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Diesel · LA17 EVR

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 28 November 2025 at 30,843 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean result persists across the previous four tests dating back to 2021, indicating that the vehicle has maintained its operational integrity without recurring mechanical or structural failures over the last five years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 3,427 miles per year. Between November 2021 (17,967 miles) and November 2025 (30,843 miles), the car covered only 12,876 miles over four years. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has likely seen short trips, which often minimizes wear on the engine and drivetrain. However, such low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown if the vehicle is not driven regularly. Since the MOT record shows no historical faults or advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components typically affected by low-mileage storage. Check the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion which can occur from infrequent use. The buyer should also examine the suspension bushes for cracking, as age affects rubber regardless of low mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of the timing belt and the state of essential fluids is necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked internal degradation.
