2014 Ford Kuga 1.6L Petrol · AF14 NXS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on January 23 2026 with 106,581 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has achieved clean passes in its last two annual tests. While the record shows failures in January 2024 and January 2026, the immediate successful re-tests indicate that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified defects to maintain the vehicle to legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,882 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with 12,349 miles recorded between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 11,545 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the health of mechanical seals, rubber components, and tyres. Despite the recent clean passes, the buyer should investigate the specific causes of the failures at 82,687 miles and 106,581 miles. Since the record does not detail the specific reasons for those failures, a physical inspection must focus on common Kuga wear points such as rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake pipe corrosion. Given the age and mileage, a close check of the chassis for structural rust and the condition of the control arms is necessary to ensure no hidden degradation is present that did not trigger a failure during the MOT test.
