2017 Ford Ecosport 1.5L Diesel · VE67 CVV

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the majority of its annual inspections resulting in clean passes, including the most recent test on 24 November 2025. Aside from a trivial failure for insufficient washer fluid in 2024 and a few minor points in 2023, the vehicle has avoided significant mechanical defects or structural failures throughout its testing history. With 55,285 miles recorded over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,143 miles per year. This usage pattern is typical for its age, suggesting a steady accumulation of mileage rather than periods of prolonged inactivity or excessive heavy use. Mechanically, this indicates that wear on the drivetrain and suspension components is likely to be consistent with standard operational expectations for a vehicle of this vintage. Inspection focus should be placed on the braking system, as brake pads were recorded as wearing thin at approximately 2mm during the November 2023 test. Although the subsequent two tests were clean, it is necessary to confirm that the pads were replaced to avoid premature disc wear. During a test drive, the buyer should monitor for any pedal judder or a soft pedal feel, and listen for metallic grinding noises during braking. Additionally, ensure the windscreen washer system and wiper blades are functioning fully, as these were the specific points of failure and advisory in previous years.
