2010 Ford Kuga 2.5L Diesel · AD10 MXF

The Ford Kuga presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 16 November 2023 at 187,179 miles, and the underlying maintenance trend appears stable across the available history. The most recent test shows no defects, though the vehicle failed three days earlier on 13 November 2023 at 187,144 miles with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at retest rather than a mechanical fault. A prior fail on 15 November 2022 at 169,513 miles also carried no recorded defects. These repeat no-defect failures suggest clerical mismatches rather than worsening condition. The recorded mileage of 187,179 against a 2010 build gives an average of roughly 11,700 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The jump from 149,611 miles at the September 2021 test to 169,513 miles by November 2022 shows about 20,000 miles in fourteen months, then a further 17,600 miles to the November 2023 pass. The gap between September 2021 and November 2022 is the longest interval in the record, but accumulation rates stay within normal bounds and the file is sparse with no advisories or consumable wear flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the high absolute mileage and sixteen years of service. The MOT data shows no corrosion, structural, or emissions concerns, yet the absence of advisories across this mileage implies either diligent upkeep or limited tester scrutiny. Verify the repeated no-defect failures were DVSA input errors and confirm the vehicle has not stood idle since the 2023 test, as today's date of 8 July 2026 leaves over thirty months of unrecorded use.
