2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · AX17 KZJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, despite recent transition toward requiring consumable replacements. The most recent test in October 2025 at 76,915 miles resulted in a pass but flagged the front brake pads as wearing thin. This indicates a shift from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting the vehicle is now entering a stage where routine mechanical components require more frequent attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the car covered 36,606 miles, showing a steady usage profile without significant gaps or long periods of inactivity. The 12,022 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests reflects a typical annual distance, which generally limits the risk of premature drivetrain wear compared to high-mileage commercial commuting. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the suspension and tyre alignment. The October 2022 test at 40,309 miles flagged all four tyres for uneven wear on the inner edges and identified multiple nails. This pattern often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified to ensure new tyres will not suffer the same fate. Given the thin front brake pads noted in the latest entry, a thorough check of the brake discs for scoring or glazing is also necessary to determine if full replacement is required immediately.
