2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · AV10 UNZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on 10 February 2025 at 139,073 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, just three days after a failure on the same mileage. This sequence suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately before the retest. Since that period, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without further advisories or failures across multiple inspections. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between December 2021 at 127,757 miles and February 2025 at 139,073 miles, the car covered 11,316 miles. The intervals between 2023 and 2024 show a steady accumulation of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles annually, indicating regular light use rather than long periods of standing which is generally beneficial for engine seals and brake components. Despite the clean MOT deffectories, a buyer should focus on common wear points for a Ford Kuga of this era. The high mileage of 139,000 miles necessitates a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and lower arms, as these often degrade at this age. Check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as the MOT tester only flags significant rust once it reaches a specific threshold. Testing the braking system for binding calipers or uneven wear will ensure the clean February 2025 pass reflects genuine mechanical condition rather than just surface-.
