2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · D22 SDB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test in September 2025 at 66,660 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. Following a single failure in August 2023, the vehicle has maintained two consecutive clean passes without advisories, suggesting that the current ownership is addressing mechanical requirements before they become recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 41,278 miles and September 2025 at 66,660 miles, the car covered roughly 25,000 miles, showing steady and predictable use. This regular operation is beneficial for mechanical components as it prevents the seal degradation and corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. The intervals between tests remain consistent, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to sudden bursts of mileage that would put undue stress on the drivetrain or suspension. While the recent history is clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the components most prone to wear on this model. Focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or fatigue, as these degrade over time regardless of low mileage. Given the vehicle's age, check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding, especially after periods of lower use. The lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests suggests the structural integrity remains sound, but a visual check of the underbody for early-stage rust remains standard practice for a Ford of this era.
