The EcoSport is Ford's subcompact SUV, sold in Europe from 2014 and in the US for the 2018 to 2022 model years. US-market cars were built in Chennai, India, while European production moved to Craiova, Romania, in 2017. As an affordable first SUV for many buyers, it has often had several owners. A VIN check on a used EcoSport brings together the accident, ownership, mileage, and recall history that a clean-looking crossover won't reveal on its own.

US-market EcoSports start with MAJ, the manufacturer code for Fords built in India, and on these vehicles the 10th character encodes the model year and the 11th the assembly plant.

Its timing belt runs inside the engine in oil, so using the correct oil specification and following the service intervals matters. Ask for full service records, and check for signs of coolant loss on earlier engines.
Is the US EcoSport the same as the European one?
They're the same model family, but US-market cars came from India while European cars were built in India and later Romania, with different engine and equipment choices. The VIN shows which version you're looking at.
