2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CE11 DMZ

The 2011 Ford Kuga’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-05 at 99,733 miles confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded across the past three annual tests. The absence of repeated failures or advisories suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the record’s sparsity means no proactive issues were documented. The most recent pass aligns with current standards, but the lack of advisories in prior tests—including the duplicate entry for 2023—implies either diligent compliance with MOT thresholds or a history of deferred maintenance that only surfaces at the minimum legal requirement. The mileage progression of approximately 6,649 miles annually is typical for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The gap between tests remains consistent at around 12 months, though the duplicate 2023 entry suggests either a retest or an administrative anomaly rather than a pattern of neglect. There is no evidence of excessive wear from high mileage, nor does the record indicate prolonged inactivity that could accelerate corrosion or suspension degradation. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—given the vehicle’s age, as these are common wear points not always caught in a standard MOT. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation in prior years. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny, as corrosion in this model can compromise body panels and subframes over 15 years. Tyre condition, despite no MOT failures, should be verified, as failing twice on tread depth in a single test cycle would have been recorded if present.
