2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · AD55 TOE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from mechanical repairs to deferred consumable upkeep. The most recent test in August 2025 at 120,601 miles passed without major defects but highlighted both front tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven wear. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that while the mechanical components remained stable, basic preventative maintenance regarding tyres has recently lapsed. The recorded mileage of 120,601 miles over 13 years represents an average of approximately 9,277 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 9,500 miles covered between September 2024 and August 2025, and approximately 10,500 miles between November 2022 and September 2024. This steady interval suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally positive for the condition of seals, brake components, and suspension rubberwork. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the recurring uneven wear on the front tyres noted in both 2022 and 2025 indicates potentially worn bushes, ball joints or incorrect geometry. The broken offside rear exhaust mounting identified in two consecutive tests during 2022 should be re-checked to ensure the system is currently secured and not vibrating or causing damage to the exhaust manifold. Given the mileage and age, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion on mounting points and wish arms is necessary to ensure structural integrity remains sound despite the clean MOT results.
