2014 FORD KUGA2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT history showing a clean pass. The February 2026 test at 90,501 miles recorded no defects, which follows a clean pass in February 2025 at 81,619 miles. This recent trend suggests that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets all regulatory requirements without immediate advisories. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The record shows steady progress from 23,708 miles in September 2017 to the current 90,501 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or periods of excessive, rapid mileage accumulation that would suggest heavy commercial use or long periods of neglect. The progression between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a healthy annual distance of nearly 10,000 miles, indicating regular road use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and tyre wear, as these were the primary areas of concern in the past. The January 2024 test at 71,837 miles flagged an offside front tyre worn on the edge and slight play in both front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. While the most recent tests show no such issues, it is prudent to check for uneven tyre wear which could indicate alignment problems or worn suspension bushes. The 2018 report of thin front brake pads is an old entry, but a manual check of the remaining pad thickness and disc surface condition remains a standard requirement for a vehicle of this age. The history lacks any mentions of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, which is a positive indicator for the vehicle's long-term integrity. The single failure in August 2021 regarding the windscreen washer was a minor consumable issue and does not suggest a pattern of poor mechanical oversight. Given the clean recent history, the vehicle appears to be in a good state of repair, provided the recent repairs to the suspension and tyres identified in 2024 were completed correctly.
