2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EO16 BDV

The 2016 Ford Kuga demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent March 2026 inspection at 97,417 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical failures. The absence of advisories or critical faults suggests the vehicle has been well-kept, with no signs of deteriorating systems such as braking, suspension, or exhaust. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,742 miles annually. Each MOT test occurred approximately 12 months apart, with mileage increments ranging from 7,846 to 8,929 miles, reflecting steady rather than rapid accumulation. No gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage are evident, which reduces concerns about neglected maintenance or excessive wear. The clean record through five annual inspections implies the previous owner prioritized regular servicing, though no specific repairs or component replacements are documented. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, as these components often degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. The brake discs and calipers should also be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as even minor issues can escalate. While no structural rust or emission faults were noted, a thorough underbody examination is advisable to confirm the chassis remains intact. The vehicle’s MOT history does not flag any recurring problems, but its age and mileage warrant scrutiny of high-mileage wear items like tyres, steering linkage, and exhaust mounting points.
