2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CE11 FSU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive servicing of consumable components. The most recent test in January 2026 at 128,733 miles identified thinning rear brake pads as an advisory. This follows a relatively clean record from late 2024 and late 2022, suggesting that while the primary mechanical systems remained sound, the braking system is now reaching a necessary service interval. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between December 2021 and January 2026, the car covered 25,892 miles, showing a steady rate of operation. The 2023 test at 116,680 miles flagged both front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and on the edge, which often points to potential alignment issues or simply neglect of routine checks during that specific period of ownership. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking assembly to determine if the rear pads flagged in the 2026 test have been addressed. Given the previous uneven tyre wear noted in 2023, a thorough check of the front suspension bushes and tracking geometry is advisable to ensure no underlying misalignment persists. The vehicle should also be inspected for surface corrosion on the chassis and sills, as the MOT history does not explicitly clear structural integrity but these remain common areas of concern for vehicles of this era and mileage.
