2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · BD14 MLK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having achieved a pass in its most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 119,040 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were minor issues that were rectified prior to the retest. The absence of ongoing advisories across the last three years indicates that the vehicle is currently meeting minimum regulatory standards. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the November 2023 test at 97,653 miles and the November 2024 test at 107,815 miles, the car covered 10,162 miles. Another 11,225 miles were recorded in the following year up to the 2025 test. This regular usage is generally beneficial for mechanical components as it prevents the corrosion and degradation associated with long periods of standing stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to vehicles at the 120,000-mile mark. Although the MOT record is clean of advisories, an inspection of the suspension control arm bushes and coil springs is vital, as these often fatigue at this interval. Given the mileage, checking the thickness of the brake discs and the condition of the calipers is necessary to ensure no significant binding or thinning has occurred. Verifying the chassis for structural corrosion remains a prudent check, as the MOT only confirms integrity at the specific point of the test.
