2017 FORD KUGA2.0L Diesel

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑05‑18 at 82,616 miles, recording only a minor windscreen damage advisory and tyre edge wear. The maintenance trend shows improvement; earlier tests from 2023‑2025 repeatedly flagged rear brake pad wear, disc pitting and suspension arm bush wear, none of which appear in the latest test, indicating those components have been addressed or have stabilised. Over nine years the car accumulated 82,616 miles, averaging roughly 9,180 miles per year, which is typical for a 2017 model. MOT entries are spaced annually, with a COVID‑19 six‑month extension noted in May 2020, and mileage increments are steady (e.g., from 60,794 miles in May 2023 to 74,977 miles in May 2025). No significant gaps or sudden mileage jumps are evident. A buyer should inspect the rear brake discs for pitting, verify pad thickness, examine the trailing arm bushes for excessive play, and assess tyre condition given the edge‑wear advisory. The windscreen damage should be checked to ensure visibility is not compromised, and a visual scan for chassis or exhaust corrosion is advisable. The recurring brake wear suggests the braking system may have been subject to heavy use, while the suspension wear indicates bush degradation that could affect handling. Tyre wear patterns hint at possible alignment or suspension geometry issues. A thorough visual inspection and, where appropriate, a test drive are recommended to confirm these components remain within safe operating limits.
