2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · F15 FLH

The 2017 Ford Kuga passed its most recent MOT on 13 October 2025 at 99,580 miles, leaving it roadworthy with two minor advisories. The maintenance trend reads as broadly stable, with no test failures across the five-year record and only light consumable wear flagged near the end of the period. The October 2025 tester noted front brake pads wearing thin and the offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on its edge, both predictable at this mileage rather than signs of neglect. Recorded mileage tracks close to typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,000 miles per year. The log shows a calm accumulation: 37,795 miles in October 2021, 57,484 by October 2022, 79,339 in October 2023, then a jump to 94,345 at the September 2024 test and 99,580 a year later. No long standing periods or abrupt spikes appear. The 2023 entry carries a note that undertrays prevented full inspection, so subframe and suspension mounts from that date carry a degree of unknown. A buyer should physically check the front brake disc condition and caliper slide movement, since the October 2025 advisory on thin pads implies the discs may be near renewal too. The offside front tyre edge wear points to possible tracking deviation or worn steering geometry; a four-wheel alignment check is warranted. Given the undertray restriction in 2023, the front lower arms, subframe mounts, and any corrosion on structural members should be lifted and inspected directly. The 2021 nail in the nearside front tyre was a one-off and holds no trend weight.
