2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · SM13 AEM

The vehicle presents a stable mechanical history with a consistent record of passing MOT tests without a single defect or advisory recorded over five consecutive years. The most recent test on 6 September 2022 at 50,416 miles confirms the car met all roadworthiness standards at that time. There are no recurring faults or deteriorating trends in the data, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2014 model, averaging roughly 4,201 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady increase from 23,247 miles in August 2018 to 50,416 miles in September 2022. This gradual accumulation indicates regular, light use rather than erratic bursts of mileage. However, the record shows a significant gap in testing from September 2022 to the current date of July 2026. The vehicle is now nearly four years overdue for an MOT. A buyer must investigate the implications of this long period of inactivity. Vehicles that stand for years often suffer from perished tyre compounds, seized brake calipers, and degraded battery health. You should specifically check for flat spots on the tyres and ensure the brake discs have not suffered from surface corrosion or pitting. Inspect the suspension bushes and engine mounts for signs of dry rot or cracking caused by lack of movement. While the historical data is clean, the absence of recent testing means the current mechanical state is unknown. A full physical inspection is necessary to ensure the vehicle has not deteriorated while stationary.
