FORD KUGA2016 · 1.5L Petrol

The 2016 Ford Kuga demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent October 2025 MOT at 102,144 miles. The maintenance trend shows consistency over the past three years, as all subsequent tests from 2023 to 2025 passed without issues. However, a failed MOT entry on 2023-09-22 at 74,471 miles—despite no defects listed—raises questions about potential administrative errors or unrecorded concerns. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in later tests suggests the vehicle has remained in acceptable condition. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,214 miles annually. Gaps between tests, such as the 14,549-mile jump from 59,243 miles (2022-10-04) to 74,471 miles (2023-09-22), indicate irregular servicing intervals, which could hint at inconsistent maintenance. However, the lack of defects in subsequent tests implies no immediate mechanical risks. The vehicle’s history lacks significant wear indicators, such as corrosion or suspension failures, though the 2023 failure remains unexplained. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s current MOT status and inspect for signs of unresolved issues from the 2023 test, particularly if the failure was due to unrecorded defects. While no structural or braking concerns are noted, the absence of detailed defect reports limits full transparency. Routine checks on suspension components, brake systems, and exhaust emissions would be prudent, given the age and mileage. The car’s overall maintenance pattern suggests responsible ownership, but the 2023 anomaly warrants further scrutiny.
