2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · AC65 VMC

The 2016 Ford Kuga presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-06-20 at 43,543 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. However, the same date shows a conflicting failure entry, which may indicate a data anomaly or administrative error. Previous tests from 2024 to 2022 consistently passed with no defects, suggesting a maintenance trend of reliability. The absence of recurring issues in the record implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the recent failure warrants verification with the DVSA or the seller. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,543 miles at 10 years old equates to approximately 4,354 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with mileage increases of roughly 9,000–10,000 miles per year, suggesting consistent but light usage. No gaps in the record or rapid mileage spikes are evident, reinforcing the impression of controlled maintenance. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for wear, particularly if the car has been stationary for extended periods, as this can cause stiffness or degradation in bushes and springs. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as low mileage can sometimes mask underlying issues. Structural integrity is not flagged in the record, but visual checks for rust, especially in underbody areas, are advisable. The absence of advisories in recent tests is positive, but the conflicting failure entry necessitates further clarification before purchase.
