2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CE60 LDK

The 2010 Ford Kuga presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its MOT history, with the most recent test on 19 June 2024 passing without defects at 111,903 miles. The vehicle demonstrated consistent compliance through its preceding tests, including passes in July 2023 and October 2022, indicating reliable mechanical condition maintained over the review period. The failure recorded on 21 October 2022 at 94,718 miles appears to have been resolved promptly, as the same mileage test was successfully completed three days later with no issues identified. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with expected averages for a vehicle of this age, progressing from 93,013 miles in February 2022 to 111,903 miles by June 2024, representing approximately 9,845 miles per year over that span. The interval between the February 2022 and October 2022 tests shows relatively rapid usage, covering 5,705 miles in just eight months. No significant gaps exist in the testing schedule, with annual or near-annual MOTs consistently completed, suggesting disciplined maintenance habits by previous keepers. Prospective buyers should examine the condition of the rear brake system, particularly calipers and discs, given the binding issue flagged during the October 2022 failure. The suspension components, including bushings and coil springs, warrant inspection for signs of wear or fatigue, especially considering the vehicle's age and moderate annual mileage. Undercarriage and wheel arches should be checked for corrosion, particularly around sills and rear subframes. The exhaust system and emissions equipment merit attention, as do the tyres and their tread depth, to ensure alignment with the clean MOT record and continued safe operation.
