2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · BE13 ABY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 November 2025 with 112,050 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by rapid rectifications. In both November 2024 and November 2025, the car failed the test just two to five miles prior to a successful result. This suggests the previous owner addressed specific test failures or performed minor mechanical adjustments only when prompted by the tester rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 112,050 miles over 13 years, the Kuga averages approximately 8,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,600 miles covered between October 2023 and December 2024, and nearly 14,700 miles covered between December 2024 and November 2025. This recent spike in mileage indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which benefits the condition of rubber components and engine seals. While the history shows no long-term structural degradation or recurring mechanical defects, the buyer should focus the physical inspection on components common to high-mileage SUVs of this era. Examine the suspension arm bushes and coil springs for wear, as these often perish at this mileage bracket. Given the narrow-margin MOT failures, a thorough check of the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs is necessary to ensure the recent passes were fully resolved. Inspect the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the rear sills and wheel arches, as age-related rust can begin to weaken structural integrity regardless of recent MOT results.
