2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EA67 AEJ

The 2017 Ford Kuga shows a stable roadworthiness status, with the latest MOT on 9 May 2025 at 43,768 miles recording a pass and no defects. Across five successive tests from 28 October 2021 to that date, the DVSA issued zero advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, with no recurring mechanical faults or worsening conditions logged by examiners. Mileage sits low for a vehicle of this age. The record begins at 23,344 miles on 28 October 2021, rises to 27,354 miles by 13 October 2022, then 32,241 miles on 30 October 2023. A truncated interval to 10 May 2024 shows 34,333 miles, reflecting light use, before the largest annual gain of 9,435 miles to 43,768 by May 2025. Average yearly travel computes near 4,863 miles, well under typical figures. Such clean, sparse history implies a cautious owner prioritising periodic statutory testing over high-frequency driving. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of components that low-mileage dormancy can mask. The tester never flagged binding calipers, perished suspension bushes, or subframe rust, but prolonged standing promotes seizing and rubber degradation. Examine brake calipers for free movement, scrutinise coil springs and mounting points for age-related fracture, and check tyre sidewalls for cracking. The unblemished MOT record warrants confidence, yet hands-on verification of structural integrity and consumable condition remains prudent before purchase.
