2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CE61 ABK

The 2011 Ford Kuga’s most recent MOT on 2024-08-30 at 129,962 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date also shows a fail with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or incomplete testing. Subsequent tests from 2023-08-11 and 2022-08-12 indicate a stable trend, with passes at 120,640 and 110,048 miles, respectively. No structural, braking, or suspension issues were flagged in these records, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits definitive conclusions about mechanical health. Mileage progression shows a steady increase from 110,047 miles in 2022 to 129,962 miles in 2024, averaging 8,664 miles annually. This aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, though the 19,915-mile jump between 2022 and 2024 raises questions about driving patterns. The absence of high-mileage wear indicators—such as excessive brake disc thinning or suspension bush failure—suggests the car has been maintained to a basic standard. However, the sparse defect data prevents a deeper assessment of component longevity. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate failure. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity should also be checked for rust, especially in areas prone to corrosion like wheel arches or underbody panels. The MOT history lacks specific warnings, but the car’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical condition.
