2017 FORD KUGA ST-LINE TDCI2.0L Diesel

The 2017 Ford Kuga ST-Line TDCI presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 61,136 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a stable maintenance trend across every annual examination. No advisories or failures appear in the entire DVLA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the MOT scheme since first tested. Mileage progression shows light, consistent use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record runs from 32,516 miles on 27 January 2021 through 41,837 miles in July 2022, 49,614 miles in August 2023, 56,254 miles in August 2024, and 61,136 miles in August 2025. This equates to roughly 6,800 miles per year, below the national average. The gap between the January 2021 and July 2022 tests spans seventeen months, suggesting the car stood unused for a period or the owner delayed renewal. The absence of recorded faults denies us any pattern of recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. A clean sheet does not certify component health, only that the tester found nothing exceeding legal limits on the day. The Kuga's lower annual mileage and probable standing time raise the risk of perished rubber components, lightly seized calipers, and surface corrosion invisible to a pass result. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust, check the condition of coil springs and suspension arms, and verify brake caliper movement after the car's idle periods. Tyres and wiper blades may show age-related cracking despite adequate tread. The MOT history supports a well-kept example, but the sparse defect data means in-person verification remains essential before purchase.
