2009 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · 6 SSR

The 2009 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 June 2025 at 112,407 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 9 May 2024 at 104,870 miles. The earlier failure on 7 May 2024 at 104,868 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded minor rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories appear across the five-year record, so the vehicle shows no worsening pattern. Mileage sits at a typical level for a seventeen-year-old car. The owner covered roughly 6,600 miles per year, with the odometer moving from 93,199 miles at the May 2022 test to 98,420 miles in May 2023, then 104,870 miles by May 2024 and 112,407 miles by June 2025. The two-day gap between the May 2024 fail and pass suggests a swift retest after a trivial correction. Sparse but clean records imply the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current without neglecting consumables. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the MOT is reassuring, yet testers may have missed early structural rust on sills or subframes. Check for binding calipers and exhaust emissions during a road trial. Verify service history beyond the MOT, as the clean test record does not confirm cambelt, fluid, or drivetrain maintenance. The Kuga's age means worn steering joints or perished hoses could exist without triggering a failure.
