2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · AD11 BOG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from structural concerns to developing component wear. The most recent test in December 2025 at 105,608 miles identified a worn rear suspension arm pin or bush. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates that the suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life after a clean record in late 2024. The mileage accumulation is consistent and predictable. With 105,608 miles over nine years, the car averages approximately 11,700 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a Ford Kuga. There is a notable gap in records between December 2021 and January 2023, during which the vehicle covered roughly 15,000 miles. Since that period, the usage has remained steady, with about 14,000 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests and a similar interval between the two most recent annual tests. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly, as the 2025 advisory suggests the rubber bushes or pins are deteriorating. The history also reveals recurring issues with the rear brakes, with pitted and scored discs noted in both 2021 and 2024. This pattern suggests the previous owners may have deferred brake maintenance or the components suffer from corrosion, which warrants a thorough check of the calipers and brake lines. Special attention is also required regarding the 2023 advisory for an insecure offside floor panel, which was flagged as being close to a structural failure. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, an inspector should verify the chassis for advanced corrosion in that specific area to ensure structural integrity has not degraded over time.
