2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · WO66 AET

The 2017 Ford Kuga’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-27 at 76,287 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the vehicle has a history of failed tests without recorded issues. The 2025-08-27 failure at 76,278 miles and the 2024-01-10 failure at 59,368 miles suggest inconsistent compliance, though no specific mechanical faults were noted. This pattern indicates potential lapses in maintenance or testing procedures, as the vehicle has not undergone a valid MOT since 2025, leaving its current roadworthiness unverified. The mileage of 76,287 miles over nine years aligns with an average of 8,476 miles annually, typical for the model. However, a significant jump from 59,466 miles on 2024-01-12 to 65,802 miles by 2024-08-31—over 6,300 miles in seven months—suggests accelerated usage. This could strain components like brakes, suspension, and tyres, though no wear-related defects were recorded. The sparse data between 2024 and 2025, with only two tests, limits insight into gradual deterioration. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system, as repeated MOT failures without defects may hint at unresolved issues like binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, warrant scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. Structural corrosion, though not mentioned in records, should be checked, particularly in areas prone to rust. The absence of detailed failure reports means a physical inspection is critical to confirm safety and identify hidden faults.
