2014 Ford Kuga 1.6L Petrol · FP64 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 4 September 2023 at 62,083 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2021, indicating the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,174 miles per year. Between 26 March 2021 and 4 September 2023, the odometer rose from 55,198 to 62,083 miles, showing a steady but light usage pattern of approximately 3,400 miles per annum over the last two years. Such low usage often preserves the interior and engine internals but can lead to secondary issues related to inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. The absence of MOT advisories is positive, but the low mileage suggests a risk of perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or flat-spotted tyres if the car sat idle for long periods. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and inspect the suspension bushes for dry rotting or cracking. The MOT record is now nearly three years out of date relative to July 2026. This gap means the current mechanical state is unknown. Prioritise a check for battery health and fluid degradation, as vehicles with this usage profile often suffer from stagnant oil and coolant. Ensure the tyres are within the legal tread depth and date-coded correctly, as they may have aged out even if the tread remains.
