The 2011 Ford Kuga demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its recent MOT history, with the most recent test on 2025-11-27 at 116,618 miles recording no defects. All tests from 2022 to 2025 show consistent passing, including the 2023-11-07 test at 105,794 miles. A single failed test on 2023-11-02 at 105,791 miles was recorded without defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-critical issue. The absence of recurring mechanical failures or advisories indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,775 miles annually. Tests are spaced approximately 12 months apart, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. The 2023-11-02 failed test occurred just five days before a subsequent pass, raising questions about the validity of the failure, though no specific issues were logged. The lack of defects in most tests suggests the owner prioritized basic compliance over proactive maintenance, though no critical risks are evident from the data. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in older models. Structural integrity, including underbody rust, warrants scrutiny, especially if the car was exposed to coastal or salty environments. While the MOT records show no immediate concerns, the absence of detailed defect descriptions limits confidence in the vehicle’s long-term reliability.
