2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · YB10 AKV

The 2010 Ford Kuga presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-06-30, which passed with no defects at 94,883 miles. The prior three tests from 2024-11-29, 2023-12-01, and 2022-11-02 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failure on 2023-11-18 at 82,837 miles recorded no defects, suggesting a technical or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of recurring critical issues over six years implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the low mileage of 5,930 annual miles raises questions about usage patterns. The mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, with 76,050 miles in 2022 rising to 94,883 by 2025—a total of 18,833 miles over three years. This rate is below the UK average for a 16-year-old vehicle, which may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The 2023-11-18 failure occurred just 110 miles after the previous test, creating a narrow gap that could indicate rushed servicing or unaddressed minor issues. However, the subsequent tests showed no residual problems, suggesting the failure was isolated. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of suspension components, particularly given the low mileage, as static periods may cause dry rot in bushes or coil springs. Brake systems should be checked for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as these can develop without regular use. Structural integrity is likely sound, but corrosion risks merit scrutiny, especially in areas prone to moisture. The absence of recorded defects in recent tests supports the vehicle’s reliability, but the sparse data from the 2023 failure warrants cautious evaluation of the car’s overall care history.
