2017 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Diesel · LS17 PUK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 19 September 2025 at 38,570 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of clean passes across the last five years indicates that the previous owners were proactive regarding vehicle care and that the vehicle has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between September 2021 (38,554 miles) and September 2022 (31,329 miles), suggesting the car sat stationary or was used infrequently. Since that period, the mileage has returned to a steady pace, covering roughly 3,500 miles annually. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it increases the risk of rubber components perished or brake seizing due to extended inactivity. Given the lack of recorded faults in the history, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than mileage. You must check for sidewall cracking on the tyres and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs on cars that sit frequently. Additionally, examine the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of cracking, as these rubber elements degrade over time regardless of the distance driven. The clean record suggests the structural integrity remains sound, but a visual check of the underside for early surface rust remains advisable.
