2016 FORD KUGA2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 80,792 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately prior to the re-test, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any failures or advisories for the preceding three years. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 55,189 miles and July 2024 at 71,643 miles, the car covered 16,454 miles, followed by another 9,149 miles in the final year recorded. This steady, low-rate accumulation indicates regular use rather than neglect, which typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain components, turbo, and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage counterparts. Because the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural corrosion, a buyer should focus on the physical condition of components that degrade with age rather than use. Inspection should check rubber components for cracking, such as control arm bushes and shock absorber mounting points, and assess the state of the brake discs for pitting. Given the low annual mileage, verifying the condition of fluids and the health of the battery is essential, as long periods of standing can lead to fluid degradation or electrical failure despite a clean test record.
