FORD KUGA2012 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend despite intermittent failures. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 70,476 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two days prior. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying issues immediately to maintain a valid certificate. The lack of advisories across the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently holding in good condition. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,476 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to higher-mile vehicles. The data shows periods of consistent use, such as 4,500 miles covered between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 3,000 miles between October 2024 and July 2025. These patterns suggest the Kuga may have sat stationary for short periods or been restricted to short local trips. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on rubber components and fluid-related items, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age degradation rather than mechanical wear. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting from infrequent use and check suspension bushes for cracks or perish. While the MOT history is clean of structural rust, the recurring recent failures in 2024 and 2025 likely involved minor items like bulbs, wipers, or minor leaks that required immediate attention to pass the test.
