2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · GJ61 AAV

The 2011 Ford Kuga presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 25 June 2025 at 129,370 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared the June 2025 test with no defects logged, mirroring the clean pass of 27 June 2024 at 121,285 miles. Prior to each pass, the Kuga recorded a failed test on the same dates at near-identical mileages, yet the failure entries show no defects recorded, indicating administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,625 miles per year against the 129,370 miles recorded. The odometer moved from 110,812 miles at the June 2023 test to 121,277 miles by June 2024, then to 129,370 by June 2025, reflecting steady annual use of around 8,500 to 11,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or standing periods. The DVSA data is sparse, showing only three test years and clean sheets throughout, so no consumable wear or structural concerns were formally flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as these components commonly degrade without triggering MOT advisories in a clean record. The twin 2024 and 2025 fail-pass pairs on consecutive days at matching mileages suggest the seller or previous owner addressed paperwork or presentation issues promptly, implying reasonable care of the logbook trail if not deep mechanical proof. Given no corrosion, emissions, or structural integrity defects appear in the official history, the Kuga shows no recorded worsening trend, but the absence of advisories at this age warrants hands-on checks of underside rust and drivetrain condition before purchase.
