2016 FORD KUGA2.0L Diesel

This 2016 Ford Kuga presents in a stable mechanical condition overall, having successfully passed its most recent test on February 27, 2025 at 72,894 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean pass immediately follows a failure the previous day due to a missing road wheel fixing and an active anti-lock braking system warning lamp, both of which were promptly rectified. The maintenance trend reflects standard corrective action rather than systemic neglect, as the vehicle consistently clears its annual checks after initial failures are addressed. The recorded mileage progression indicates moderate, consistent usage averaging roughly 7,200 miles annually over its ten-year lifespan. The vehicle accumulated 7,370 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, followed by 5,435 miles leading up to the February 2025 test. This steady accumulation pattern avoids the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commercial duties and bypasses the battery degradation or seized component risks often found in vehicles left standing for long periods. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, paying close attention to the ABS module functionality and wheel nut torque given the 2025 failure history. The record also highlights a previous tendency to run tyres down to the legal limit, evidenced by the dual front tyre failure in March 2023, making a close examination of current tread depths and inner shoulder wear essential. While the chassis and structural components show no history of corrosion or suspension advisories, checking the condition of the brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes during a test drive will confirm the longevity of these consumable parts.
