2014 Ford Kuga Zetec 4X2 Tdci 2.0L Diesel · WJZ 6032

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-03-03 MOT at 102,756 miles. All prior tests from 2019 to 2024 also showed passing results, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or structural concerns were flagged across the 12-year span, suggesting the owner prioritized regular servicing. The absence of advisories or critical failures in all tests implies the car has been well-maintained, with no evidence of escalating mechanical degradation. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,563 miles annually. A notable gap between 2019-10-21 (44,913 miles) and 2022-05-01 (76,183 miles) reflects a three-year period where the car accumulated 31,270 miles, averaging 10,423 per year. This suggests increased usage during that timeframe, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. However, subsequent tests at 85,623, 96,789, and 102,756 miles showed no defects, confirming the vehicle’s resilience to such usage. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, as these are common wear points in diesel SUVs. The exhaust system, including catalytic converter and muffler, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, which can develop in older vehicles. Brake components, such as calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, even though no issues were recorded. Additionally, verifying tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition is advisable, as these are consumables often overlooked in long-term ownership. The MOT history provides no cause for immediate concern, but physical checks remain essential to confirm the car’s ongoing reliability.
