2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · AL53 ABS

The 2017 Ford Kuga presents a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 70,541 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. The maintenance trend is steady, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 70,541 against a nine-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,838 miles per year and matching typical use for this age of vehicle. The test on 13 February 2023 at 46,033 miles, 8 March 2022 at 40,298 miles, and 29 February 2024 at 59,225 miles confirm gradual accumulation with no abrupt jumps. A duplicate entry on 29 February 2024 shows both a fail and pass at identical mileage with no defects logged, indicating an administrative re-test rather than a genuine fault. The DVSA data is sparse but consistently clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody structural integrity, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of developing corrosion or worn consumables. The Kuga's age makes perished rubber components and mild structural rust plausible even without tester flags. Given the unbroken pass record, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. Verify service history and inspect tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions in person before purchase to confirm the clean MOT profile reflects real condition.
