2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CA14 MMK

The vehicle presents a stable and positive maintenance profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 15 July 2026 at 112,804 miles. After a period of minor mechanical advisories and defects between 2017 and 2022, the car has achieved three consecutive years of passing with no recorded defects. This suggests that previous issues involving suspension and drivetrain components were addressed effectively, leading to a period of consistent upkeep. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. The data shows steady usage without significant periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive surges in mileage. Between the July 2024 test at 99,766 miles and the July 2025 test at 107,868 miles, the vehicle covered 8,102 miles, which aligns well with the established annual pattern. This predictable usage typically implies a more regular service schedule and less strain on the drivetrain compared to high-mileage vehicles. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and drivetrain components, specifically the rear drive shaft and ball joints. While the 2022 test at 78,903 miles flagged a severely deteriorated nearside rear drive shaft CV boot, the subsequent clean records suggest this was rectified. It remains prudent to check for any signs of grease leakage or play in the CV joints. Additionally, given the 2017 and 2019 findings regarding suspension arm ball joint dust covers, a manual check of the various suspension bushes and joints for perished rubber or weeping grease is advisable to ensure no new deterioration has occurred. The absence of recent advisories regarding tyres or braking components is encouraging. However, because the 2017 record noted tyres worn close to the legal limit, the buyer should verify the current tread depth and age of all four tyres. The overall history indicates a vehicle that has transitioned from requiring reactive repairs on consumable items to a state of reliable, routine maintenance.
