FORD KUGA2014 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 135,248 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a windscreen chip, previous records reveal a recurring pattern of neglecting consumable items until they required attention. The mechanical state appears stable but suggests the owner has only addressed faults once they reached a legal failure threshold. At 135,248 miles, this twelve-year-old Ford Kuga shows a consistent annual mileage average of approximately 11,200 miles. There is a notable gap in the testing record between November 2021 and March 2023, during which the vehicle covered 5,274 miles. Since then, the usage has remained steady, with roughly 7,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This consistent mileage suggests the car is used regularly for commuting, which places predictable strain on the suspension components and drivetrain assembly. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres and drivetrain, as the history shows multiple issues with uneven wear and perishing rubber. The 2024 test flagged a severely deteriorated nearside front drive shaft CV boot, which, if not replaced, will lead to premature joint failure and grease leakage. Furthermore, repeated advisories for tyres worn to the edges in 2023 and 2024 indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been properly rectified. Check for sidewall cracking on the rear tyres as per the advisories in two consecutive years.
