2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · BP65 BYG

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The March 2026 test at 55,834 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a successful retest in March 2025. While the March 2025 test initially flagged a nearside windscreen wiper failing to clear the glass effectively, this minor consumable issue was rectified immediately. The absence of advisories or failures in the last three years suggests a consistent level of upkeep. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 5,583 miles per year. The data shows a significant jump in mileage between April 2022 (46,260 miles) and February 2023 (53,206 miles), representing nearly 7,000 miles in ten months. Since that period, the vehicle has been driven much less frequently, covering only about 2,600 miles over the subsequent three years. This pattern of low annual usage can sometimes lead to issues with components that prefer regular movement, such as battery health or tyre flat-spotting. The January 2021 test identified both offside and nearside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and smooth on the inner edges. This specific fault pattern often indicates a previous alignment issue or worn suspension bushes affecting the camber. Although the recent records show no recurring tyre or suspension problems, a physical inspection should verify that the steering geometry remains correct and that the tyres are wearing evenly across the tread. Given the low mileage and the long periods of relatively light use, a buyer should check for signs of age-related deterioration that do not always appear on an MOT certificate. Focus on the condition of rubber components, such as serpentine belts and various suspension bushings, which can perish from time rather than wear. Checking the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensuring the battery holds a steady charge would also be prudent steps for a vehicle with this specific usage profile.
