2017 Ford Kuga ST-Line X Tdci 4X4 Auto 2.0L Diesel · K121 KKC

The 2017 Ford Kuga TDCi 4x4 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the last four tests, most recently passing on December 12, 2025, at 77,480 miles. This suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent roadworthiness checks without any major mechanical or structural failings. The absence of advisories or recurring issues in the most recent test indicates the tester did not identify any immediate concerns requiring attention. However, the 2025 test being just six months old means a full inspection of high-wear components is still pending, though the record does not imply any urgent mechanical degradation. Mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 8,600 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and specification. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with the most recent interval—from 61,223 miles in December 2023 to 77,480 miles in December 2025—covering 16,257 miles in two years. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been used regularly without prolonged periods of inactivity, which could otherwise accelerate wear on fluids, seals, or suspension components. The lack of MOT advisories or defects also implies that previous owners did not neglect basic maintenance, though this does not preclude hidden wear on components like suspension bushes, drivetrain joints, or exhaust systems. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are critical wear items not always captured in a standard MOT. The drivetrain—including constant velocity (CV) joints and transfer box seals—should also be examined for leaks or excessive play, especially given the 4x4 specification. Brake components, such as calipers, pads, and discs, warrant close scrutiny, as binding or uneven wear could develop between MOT intervals. Finally, a thorough check for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, is advisable, as this is a common failure point for vehicles of this age and mileage. The absence of MOT defects does not guarantee these areas are flawless, and a professional inspection will provide clarity on any deferred maintenance.
