2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · S7 KAD

The vehicle's most recent MOT test, conducted on 2025-07-07 at 32,861 miles, resulted in a clean PASS. This follows a previous failure on the same day, which was due to both front inner tyres failing the tread depth test. The immediate correction of this defect indicates the previous owner prioritised safety. The low annual mileage of approximately 2,738 miles per year over the vehicle's 12-year lifespan suggests the car has seen minimal wear on its mechanical components, though prolonged periods of inactivity can cause issues such as suspension bush deterioration and brake caliper binding. The MOT record is relatively sparse, with only two tests showing defects, both related to tyre wear and brake pad degradation. A buyer should conduct a thorough hands-on inspection, focusing on the suspension system to check for stiffness in the bushes and coil springs, and verifying that the brake calipers move freely. The windscreen damage noted in 2023-07-03 and 2024-07-09 requires visual confirmation of its current extent and whether it poses a risk to structural integrity. The brake pads should be checked for even wear and the brake discs for scoring or warping.
