2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · PX05 ALY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass in December 2025 at 66,676 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a period of neglect in late 2024. While the most recent test is perfect, the previous failure due to exhaust emissions and worn components indicates that the owner previously deferred essential repairs, but eventually addressed these mechanical issues before the final successful test. At nine years old with 66,676 miles, the Kuga has averaged approximately 7,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between October 2023 and December 2024, and another 14,000 miles covered between December 2024 and December 2025. This steady mileage suggests the car does not sit for long periods, though the recurring faults indicate that components are reaching their service intervals. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin across three consecutive years from 2023 to 2024. The persistent history of tyres being worn on the edges also suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent further premature tyre degradation. Additionally, the 2024 failure for a center exhaust leak and high lambda readings requires a check of the exhaust manifold and oxygen sensors to ensure the repair was permanent and not merely a temporary fix.
