2017 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Petrol · RK67 PJU

The 2017 Ford Ecosport presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 10 May 2025 at 51,593 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health, following a pass on the same day at the identical mileage, indicates the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards comprehensively. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable and improving, with no recurring faults or advisories appearing in the available history. A buyer can approach this vehicle with confidence regarding its recent mechanical condition. The mileage pattern reveals a notably low-usage profile for a vehicle of this age. Accumulating just 51,593 miles over approximately nine years equates to roughly 5,733 miles per year, well below the UK average. The record shows a clear progression from 30,842 miles in October 2022 to 38,991 miles in December 2023, representing an addition of 8,149 miles in just over a year. This suggests a period of more regular use. However, the subsequent jump to 51,593 miles by May 2025 marks a significant increase of 12,602 miles in approximately 17 months, indicating a substantial change in usage pattern or a long journey undertaken. The data is sparse but clean, with no gaps suggesting missed annual tests. Despite the clean MOT record, the low-mileage nature of this vehicle warrants a specific in-person inspection focus. Prolonged periods of standing can lead to issues not always captured in a standard MOT, such as perished rubber suspension bushes, brake calipers binding from disuse, or flat-spotted tyres. A buyer should meticulously check the condition of all tyres, including sidewalls for cracking, and assess the brakes for any signs of sticking or uneven wear. The underbody and suspension components should be inspected for surface corrosion, which can develop on vehicles that have seen less frequent use and may not have been washed as regularly. The exhaust system should also be checked for any signs of internal condensation corrosion, a common issue in vehicles making short journeys.
