My Ford mechanic tells me that my 2018 Ford EcoSport does not have daytime running lights. I am curious to know if this is correct.

    DRLs have been a legal requirement in UK since 2011...

    Yes.There's a slight grey area for models launched before then but still sold afterwards, but I think the current version of the Ecosport dates from 2012? so I would have expected it to have them.

    Legislation and requirements:

    Vehicle manufacturers must fit DRL to new types of passenger car and light goods vehicle (car derived vans) type approved to European vehicle requirements from February 2011[footnote 1] . In practice this means that any new model launched after this date, and many launched before, will be fitted with DRL. However, existing models on sale before this date without DRL fitted can continue to be sold and used indefinitely.
