**The mileage is the first thing that matters here.**

A 2017 Ford Escape SE with only 59,393 miles is worth paying attention to, especially in the affordable SUV market. A lot of Escapes from this year are already well past 100,000 miles. This one has lived a much lighter life, and the CARFAX history helps explain why.

This Escape is finished in Ingot Silver with Medium Light Stone cloth interior and is powered by Fords 1.5L EcoBoost engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It is front-wheel drive, easy to drive, efficient, and practical exactly the kind of small SUV that makes sense for commuting, errands, school, work, a first SUV, or someone who wants useful cargo space without stepping into a larger or more expensive vehicle.

The ownership story is the strongest part of this Escape. CARFAX shows this as a **1-owner personal vehicle**, last owned in Illinois, with the owner keeping it for nearly ten years and averaging only about **6,061 miles per year**. That is a major difference compared with the average used SUV. It also shows **16 service history records**, which gives this vehicle a much stronger paper trail than most affordable SUVs in this price range.
The window sticker shows this Escape was equipped with Equipment Group 200A and useful options including the SE Cold Weather Package, all-weather floor mats, heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors, windshield wiper de-icer, heated steering wheel, supplemental PTC heater, and remote start. Those are real Midwest-friendly features, especially for someone who wants a practical winter daily driver.

That equipment matters because this Escape is not just basic transportation. Heated seats, heated steering wheel, remote start, privacy glass, SYNC, rear view camera, power driver seat, dual-zone climate control, and the split-fold rear seat make it comfortable and easy to live with every day. The original MSRP was **$26,485**, and the vehicle still gives the next owner a lot of useful equipment for the money.

The service history is also a major positive. CARFAX shows repeated maintenance at Buss Ford, including inspections, oil changes, tire service, air and cabin filter checks, four tires mounted and balanced, brake checks, a 40,000-mile service, rear brake pads and rotors, battery replacement, and rear wiper blade replacement. That kind of long-term local service history matters because it gives the buyer more confidence than a vehicle with unknown maintenance.

For transparency, CARFAX does show a February 2023 accident report involving minor rear-impact damage. CARFAX classifies the damage as minor and notes that minor damage is usually cosmetic, such as dents or scratches. CARFAX also shows no total loss, no structural damage reported, no airbag deployment reported, no odometer rollback indicated, no open recalls reported, and no title brands reported.
Market-wise, this Escape fits an important lane. Affordable SUVs with low miles, one-owner history, useful winter equipment, and real service records are not easy to replace. Newer SUVs can quickly become a much larger payment, and many older SUVs in this range either have higher mileage, weaker history, or fewer features.

Buss Ford has been family-owned since 1928, and this vehicle is backed by our 5-Day Best Price Guarantee and 5-Day Money Back Guarantee.

For someone looking for a practical, low-mileage SUV without overbuying, this Escape SE deserves a closer look. The mileage, one-owner history, Cold Weather Package, and Buss Ford service trail are what make this one stand out.
