2013 Ford Kuga Titanium X 4X4 Tdci 2.0L Diesel · GRZ 7006

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the 2 December 2025 MOT pass at 138,785 miles, with the tester recording no defects. Maintenance trend appears mechanically stable across the recorded history, as every pass and even the two fails listed no advisories or faults. The 24 November 2025 failure at 138,402 miles and the 16 September 2024 failure at 119,246 miles both show no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than worsening mechanical condition. Mileage has accumulated in line with typical use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,700 miles per year overall. The record shows a step up in usage between the 22 March 2023 test at 93,211 miles and the 16 September 2024 failure at 119,246 miles, adding 26,035 miles in eighteen months. A further 18,374 miles were added by the December 2025 pass, reflecting sustained but not excessive annual mileage. The gap between March 2023 and September 2024 suggests the car ran without a valid test for several months, implying either storage or negligent compliance by the previous keeper. No mechanical or structural defects appear in the official entries, so the buyer should treat the clean sheet as a baseline rather than a guarantee. Given the age, high mileage and 4X4 configuration, a physical inspection must scrutinise suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for wear not yet captured by testing. The tester should also examine subframe and sills for corrosion, and verify exhaust emissions and turbo health on the diesel unit. The repeated fails with zero recorded defects demand clarification from DVSA records before purchase. Previous owners overlooked timely testing in 2024, which hints at lax upkeep discipline even if mechanical condition stayed sound. Prospective buyers must confirm the reason for those failures and commission an independent pre-purchase inspection of drivetrain and structure.
