2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · AM57 ERL

The 2014 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 10 July 2025 at 136,573 miles with no defects recorded. The preceding annual tests from July 2022 through July 2024 also returned passes with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical condition across the observed period. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,381 miles per year against the 136,573 miles recorded. The records show consistent annual use: 110,479 miles in July 2022, 120,571 in July 2023, 128,273 in July 2024, and 136,573 in July 2025. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with only a single anomaly where the 12 July 2023 test logged both a fail and a pass at identical mileage and with no defects cited, suggesting an administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm the remaining service life of these components. The absence of recorded advisories across five years implies previous owners addressed wear items before each test, yet consumables such as tyres and wiper blades will require verification at point of sale. No recurring faults or structural defects appear in the history to suggest elevated risk. The clean record supports a verdict of acceptable roadworthiness for its age, contingent on a physical check of underside condition and brake component thickness.
