2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · C17 RYL

The 2014 Ford Kuga demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its recent MOT history, with the most recent test on 2025-07-29 at 138,055 miles recording a pass and no defects. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without recorded issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,505 miles annually. The 2022-08-02 test recorded 103,124 miles, followed by a 2023-07-25 test at 115,627 miles, reflecting a 12,503-mile increase in 11 months. Subsequent annual tests show steady accumulation, with no significant gaps or abrupt spikes. The 2022 test listed as a "FAILED" entry but with no defects recorded raises ambiguity, though this may reflect a data entry error or a minor non-critical issue unresolved at the time. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny for wear, as higher mileage often accelerates these parts’ degradation. Structural corrosion, especially in underbody areas, should be checked, as rust can develop over a decade of use. The absence of recorded issues in MOTs does not eliminate these risks, as some faults may not trigger immediate failures. Regular servicing and thorough pre-purchase checks are advised to confirm continued reliability.
