2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · SG17 AAE

The 2017 Ford Kuga exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2025-05-08 at 46,787 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with prior results that showed consistent adherence to safety standards. No advisories or failures were noted across the entire history, indicating effective maintenance by previous owners. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been regularly serviced and is in good mechanical condition. The mileage of 46,787 miles over nine years equates to an average of 5,199 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual mileage. The records show gradual accumulation, with no extended gaps between tests, implying consistent usage rather than prolonged inactivity. The 2021-08-06 test at 30,255 miles to the 2025-05-08 test at 46,787 miles reflects a steady increase of 16,532 miles over four years, consistent with light to moderate driving. This low mileage may reduce wear on components like brakes and tyres but could also indicate periods of limited operation, warranting inspection of aged rubber and electrical systems. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, as low mileage can mask wear in bushings or coil springs not subjected to frequent stress. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but inspecting calipers and discs for corrosion is advised, particularly if the vehicle has been stored in damp conditions. Structural integrity appears unimpeached, with no rust or bodywork issues flagged, though a thorough visual check of seams and underbody panels is recommended. The MOT history confirms no critical faults, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s current state.
