2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · AF17 UEY

The 2017 Ford Kuga presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 46,656 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since October 2022. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 46,656 miles for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,184 miles per year. The DVSA entries show gentle annual accumulation: 33,219 miles in October 2022, 38,197 in October 2023, 42,641 in October 2024, and 46,656 in October 2025. Low use of this kind often means lighter mechanical wear but also raises the risk of perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion from prolonged standing. The record is sparse and clean, with one anomalous same-day fail and pass on 13 October 2023 showing no defects logged either time, suggesting an administrative retest rather than a genuine fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage and likely periods of inactivity. Drivetrain breather hoses and underbody structural integrity deserve checks for moisture-related corrosion that a pass with no advisories would not capture. The absence of any flagged tyre tread, exhaust emissions, or binding caliper issues implies previous owners kept basic consumables in order. Verify the 2023 duplicate entry with DVSA paperwork, then prioritise a pre-purchase check of fluid condition and handbrake function before committing.
