Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those seeking a diesel SUV with a consistent MOT record. The vehicle shows a clean history of passes over the last several years, though the recent failure in February 2026 requires clarification.
When viewing this specific BN14BEC Kuga, your first priority should be to confirm what caused the MOT failure on 16 February 2026 at 86,323 miles. Although the subsequent record shows a pass with no defects, understanding the nature of that failure is essential for assessing recent maintenance.
Given this is a 2.0L diesel model, check for any signs of excessive smoke or unusual engine noise. Ensure the service history documentation aligns with the mileage increases seen between 2023 and 2026. Because the model aggregate data highlights CV boots as a common failure point, ask if these have been inspected or replaced recently.
As a 1997cc diesel, this Kuga is designed for higher mileage efficiency, though actual costs will depend on driving style and load. You should check the specific tax band and insurance group for this 2014 registration to avoid surprises.
Maintenance costs for this model typically include periodic diesel engine servicing and tyre replacements. Given that tyres are a top failure reason for this model across the aggregate data, factor in the cost of a fresh set if the current ones show significant wear.
Focus your physical inspection on the underside of the vehicle. The aggregate data for Ford Kugas indicates that CV boots and headlamps are frequent failure points, so check the boots for splits and the headlamp lenses for clouding or moisture ingress.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres, as this is a common reason for MOT failures in this model group. Since the 2026 MOT history shows a failure followed immediately by a pass with no defects, verify that any work required to rectify that failure was completed professionally.
This 2014 black Ford Kuga features a 2.0L diesel engine and has covered 86,323 miles as of its last MOT. The MOT history shows five recorded tests since 2023, with four successful passes and one failure in February 2026. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 7,891 per year, the lack of recorded defects in the most recent pass is a notable data point.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 84.1% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to tyres, headlamps, and CV boots.
