2012 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · AT53 ABS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 December 2025 at 141,293 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate re-testing following a failure. This behavior suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying faults once they were identified, rather than allowing defects to persist over multiple years. The lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates indicates that the mechanical and structural components met the minimum standards for inspection. With a recorded mileage of 141,293 miles over 14 years, the Kuga averages approximately 10,000 miles per annum. This aligns closely with national averages for a passenger vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,300 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 7,800 miles covered between November 2024 and December 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing components from seizing or seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely caused the failures in late 2024 and late 2025. While the record does not list specific defects for those failures, such rapid re-tests often involve consumable items like light bulbs, tyre tread depth, or minor brake adjustments. Given the mileage and age, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and the condition of the coil springs is essential. The buyer should also inspect for corrosion on the sills and exhaust system to ensure that no hidden structural weakness is developing despite the clean-looking MOT history.
