2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · VE61 AAZ

This 2011 Ford Kuga presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 20 June 2025 at 74,420 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the absence of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate over the last four years without a single recorded advisory. The mileage is notably low for a fifteen year old vehicle, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between June 2024 and June 2025, where the odometer rose from 63,423 to 74,420 miles. This jump of nearly 11,000 miles in a single year deviates from the previous pattern, such as the 5,514 mile increase between June 2023 and June 2024. This suggests a change in usage patterns or a change in ownership recently. The lack of advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear is unusual for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often perish during periods of low usage. Check for perished tyre sidewalls and evidence of brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, as low-mileage cars often suffer from stiction in the braking system. Verify the condition of the rubber seals and suspension mounts. While the MOT history is flawless, the absence of any flagged wear over several years can sometimes indicate a superficial cleaning before tests rather than comprehensive mechanical upkeep. Confirm that the oil and coolant are fresh to ensure the engine has not suffered from long periods of standing.
