2014 FORD KUGA2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history in its most recent inspections. The April 2026 test at 70,627 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a successful retest in April 2025. While the 2025 test initially failed due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, the subsequent pass indicates the fault was rectified promptly. The absence of advisories in the last two years suggests the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of repair. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 5,886 miles per year. The records show steady, incremental usage, such as the 3,216 miles covered between the October 2023 and May 2024 tests, and the 3,784 miles recorded between May 2024 and April 2025. This pattern of low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has seen light use rather than heavy motorway or urban commuting. Such usage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushes, though it can sometimes lead to battery or seal issues if the vehicle sits idle for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system and tyres, despite the clean recent records. The June 2019 test flagged thinning offside rear brake pads, and the 2017 record noted a nail in a tyre, indicating that consumable items are the primary area of concern. Given the low mileage, it is worth checking for any signs of uneven tyre wear or uneven brake disc corrosion that can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. The historical data shows no evidence of recurring structural issues, exhaust emissions failures, or suspension faults. The single failure regarding the tyre pressure monitoring system appears to be an isolated electronic or sensor-based issue rather than a sign of mechanical neglect. Overall, the MOT history reflects a well-maintained vehicle with no emerging trends of worsening mechanical condition.
