2017 Ford Ecosport 1.0L Petrol · PN67 YTK

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following a clean pass in the June 2026 test. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, moving from a period of multiple advisories and a minor failure in 2022 and 2023 toward a defect-free result in the most recent inspection. The 2023 failure involving a non-functional offside stop lamp was a minor electrical issue that did not indicate broader mechanical neglect. The recorded mileage of 69,477 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,720 miles per year. This level of usage suggests typical wear for a 2017 model and avoids the potential issues associated with extreme under-use, such as seized components or perished rubber. The MOT intervals appear regular, with tests conducted annually, providing a reliable longitudinal view of the car's condition. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and tyre management. The September 2024 test flagged worn front drop links and front tyres nearing the legal limit, which suggests the vehicle has recently required attention to its consumables and minor suspension components. While the June 2026 test showed no defects, the history of uneven tyre wear and worn anti-roll bar linkages warrants a physical check of the front suspension bushes and alignment to ensure no recurring issues exist. The 2022 inspection highlighted a minor exhaust leak and perishing rear tyres. Although these issues do not appear in the more recent 2024 or 2026 records, a physical inspection of the exhaust system and all four tyres is advisable to confirm that previous maintenance has addressed these concerns. The absence of structural corrosion or brake-related advisories in the recent history is a positive indicator of the vehicle's ongoing upkeep.
