2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · HK14 AAO

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 August 2025 at 113,836 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 9,486 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between July 2023 and August 2024, where the odometer rose from 91,739 to 101,205 miles. Use remained steady over the following year, adding 12,631 miles by the August 2025 test. This regular usage pattern generally prevents the seals and gaskets from drying out, which often happens when a vehicle stands for long periods. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across several years. While this suggests a well-maintained car, the lack of any flagged wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes is atypical for a twelve year old vehicle with over 113,000 miles. A buyer should physically inspect the underbody for surface corrosion and check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items not captured by an MOT test. Verify the condition of the brake pads and tyre tread depths during a physical inspection. Since the DVSA record shows no advisories, it is essential to confirm that these parts have been replaced as part of a wider service regime rather than simply being worn down to the legal limit. Checking for oil leaks around the engine bay will provide a more complete picture of the mechanical health than the MOT record alone.
