2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · GK67 AEB

The 2017 Ford Kuga presents a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across its five most recent tests, all of which passed without advisories. The latest inspection on 17 September 2025 at 95,515 miles confirms the vehicle remains mechanically sound under current DVSA standards, with no evidence of recurring issues or deferred repairs. This consistency over four consecutive annual tests—each spanning roughly 11,000 miles —suggests stable maintenance, though the absence of advisories does not preclude hidden wear or deferred servicing beyond MOT requirements. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 10,600 miles per year since 2017. There are no red flags in the spacing between tests; each MOT falls within the standard 12-month window, and the incremental mileage increases ( 84,272 → 95,515 over the past year) indicate regular but not excessive driving. The data does not reveal periods of prolonged inactivity or aggressive use, which would otherwise warrant closer scrutiny of suspension components, brake wear, or drivetrain health. Given the flawless MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough pre-purchase inspection of components not routinely checked under the MOT scheme. Particular attention should be given to suspension bushes and coil springs , which may show early signs of fatigue even without binding or excessive play. Brake calipers and discs should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to moisture or salt. While the MOT history is reassuring, structural integrity —particularly around wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels—should be visually assessed for corrosion or rust penetration, as these are not always captured in standard tests. Finally, verifying service records for timing belt, coolant system, and differential fluid changes would provide additional confidence in long-term reliability.
