2013 FORD KUGA TITANIUM X 4X4 TDCI AUTO2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 29 April 2025 at 118,200 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted on 23 March 2025 at 117,683 miles, the immediate pass a month later suggests a minor issue or a test-related failure that was rectified quickly, rather than a systemic mechanical or structural decline. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 99,166 miles and January 2023 at 106,165 miles, the car covered roughly 7,000 miles, showing steady usage. The jump of over 5,600 miles recorded between March 2024 and April 2025 represents a slight increase in annual distance but remains within typical expectations for a family SUV. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which often leads to seized seals or internal corrosion. Since the record shows no recurring advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to a 118,000-mile Kuga. Inspect the 4x4 drivetrain and suspension bushes for signs of perished rubber, as these often degrade at this interval. Given the age and automatic gearbox, verifying the service history regarding transmission fluid and belt changes is a priority, alongside a check of the brake discs for excessive pitting or surface rust that might not have yet triggered an MOT failure.
