2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · AF16 CVD

The 2016 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 47,085 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The vehicle shows no escalating faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available history. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record moves from 32,965 miles at the 20 October 2022 test to 37,311 miles on 25 September 2023, then 42,882 miles on 14 October 2024, and 47,085 miles in September 2025. That equates to roughly 4,700 miles per year. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the sparse but clean record implies light, steady use, likely with extended standing periods between runs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable and structural items that low-mileage, occasionally idle cars tend to degrade passively. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points for perishing or corrosion, as limited use accelerates rubber cracking and surface rust more than high-mileage wear. Examine brake discs for lip formation and calipers for binding after standing, and verify tyre sidewall condition given the age of the original or aged rubber despite adequate tread. The absence of any recorded advisories across all four tests suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though DVSA testers only log visible defects at the time of test. Given the clean trail, the Kuga represents a low-risk purchase on paper, subject to a physical check of the underside and brake actuation before commitment.
