2016 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · BP16 NTY

The 2016 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 85,054 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure on the same mileage that listed no defects, indicating an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in October 2024 at 76,786 miles and November 2023 at 70,842 miles also passed clean, so the vehicle shows no worsening advisories or recurring mechanical issues across the recorded history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,500 miles per year against the 85,054 miles recorded. The gap between the November 2023 test at 70,826 miles and the October 2024 test at 76,786 miles shows about 5,900 miles in eleven months, then 8,268 miles to October 2025. No rapid accumulation or long stationary periods are evident from the data, and the clean record across all dated entries suggests consistent use without neglect of statutory testing. The DVSA history flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not capture wear below test thresholds. Given the Kuga's age, examine the front subframe and rear suspension mounts for early rust, and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition match the clean record. The same-day fail and pass on 13 October 2025 with no defects recorded points to a clerical correction, not owner delay or skipped upkeep. Previous keepers appear to have maintained test compliance annually with no outstanding faults carried between visits, a positive indicator of basic care for a high-mileage family SUV.
