2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · YT13 ACO

The vehicle presents a stable but maintenance-reactive profile. The most recent MOT on 5 January 2026 at 67,277 miles indicates a pass, though the tester flagged pitted or scored rear brake discs and minor perishing on the offside front tyre. While these are consumable issues, they suggest a pattern of addressing wear only when it approaches a failure threshold. The mileage history shows a consistent, low-use pattern averaging approximately 5,175 miles per year. This low annual usage is evident in the progression from 14,190 miles in late 2015 to 67,277 miles in early 2026. A significant jump occurred between December 2022 and January 2024, where the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles, but otherwise, the vehicle has been driven sparingly. Such low mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, which is supported by the recurring tyre advisories. A buyer should focus heavily on the braking system and tyre condition. The records show a recurring trend of brake wear, with the January 2025 test involving a failure due to thin nearside rear brake pads and worn discs on both axles. The most recent 2026 advisory regarding pitted rear discs suggests that while the pads may have been replaced, the discs themselves are reaching the end of their service life. Tyre health also requires close inspection. The MOT history displays frequent issues with tyres being worn to the legal limit or showing signs of perishing and cracking, specifically noted in 2020, 2022, 2025, and 2026. Given the low annual mileage, the perishing noted on the offside front tyre in the latest test likely stems from age-related rubber degradation rather than tread wear. A thorough check of all tyre sidewalls and the remaining tread depth across all four wheels is necessary.
