Yep. Carfax came back clean.

Edit:
Bought it at an SVT delear. They had all the maintenance/repair records as it was serviced there, and said the previous owner traded it in on an Escape.
I remember when looking at it before thinking it was just road dust. I'll be looking at it in a bit more detail now before I clean it.
