Dealer Comments

**The Kind of 2012 Escape You Almost Never Find One Owner | 95,202 Miles | 3.0L V6**

Affordable SUVs are easy to find. Finding one with one personal owner, fewer than 100,000 miles and more than fourteen years of documented Illinois history is another matter.

This Steel Blue Metallic 2012 Ford Escape XLT has 95,202 miles. CARFAX identifies it as a one-owner personal vehicle, averaging approximately 6,706 miles per year, with a consistent mileage progression and no odometer rollback reported.

The history is not accident-free, and that deserves to be stated plainly. CARFAX lists two accident entries from January 2013. The first involved the front and left-front areas, with no airbag deployment. The second report provides no additional damage detail. CARFAX reports no structural damage, no title brands and no open recalls. The same owner continued driving and maintaining the Escape for more than thirteen years afterward.

CARFAX shows 11 service-history records. Notable work includes replacement of the air-conditioning compressor and expansion valve at 57,261 miles, a four-wheel alignment at 73,689 miles, and coolant, oil and spark-plug service at 78,307 miles. It passed its most recent Illinois emissions inspection at 92,000 miles. On September 14, 2026, Buss Ford completed a pre-delivery inspection, checked the brakes and fluids, changed the oil and filter, checked the tires and rotated them.

Power comes from Fords 3.0-liter Duratec Flex-Fuel V6, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Its original MSRP was $29,370, and the factory equipment information lists Equipment Group 203A, the Sun & SYNC Value Package, Leather Comfort Package, Cargo Package and upgraded 17-inch chrome-clad wheels.

**What makes this Escape worth a closer look:**

* One personal owner from new
* 95,202 miles
* 3.0-liter V6 and six-speed automatic
* Leather-trimmed heated front seats
* Six-way power drivers seat
* Power moonroof with shade
* SYNC voice controls and Sirius satellite-radio capability
* Leather-wrapped steering wheel and ambient lighting
* Automatic headlights, fog lights and keyless-entry keypad
* Auto-dimming rearview mirror
* Roof crossbars and retractable cargo cover
* Lockable hidden wet-storage compartment

This is a fourteen-year-old SUV with 95,202 miles, so normal age- and mileage-related cosmetic wear should be expected. We invite an in-person inspection and test drive.
