2017 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · MJ17 AAY

This Ford EcoSport presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 23 February 2026 at 47,929 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates dating back to February 2023, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,325 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, growing from 32,017 miles in February 2023 to 47,929 miles by February 2026. This suggests the car has avoided periods of prolonged standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished seals, and instead has seen light but regular use. The absence of any advisories or failures across the last four years is uncommon and suggests a high level of preventative care. The failure recorded on 11 February 2025 was resolved on the same day at 42,710 miles, though the record does not specify the defect. Given the lack of mentioned issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the mechanical risk appears low. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and verify the brake disc surfaces for any pitting or corrosion caused by low-use cycles. Testing the battery health and checking for any perished rubber hoses will confirm if the low mileage has been accompanied by appropriate environmental storage.
