2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CF67 AEB

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-09-10 MOT at 39,267 miles. Previous tests from 2024, 2023, and 2022 also showed passing results, though a 2023 entry lists a failed test alongside no recorded defects, suggesting a potential data inconsistency. The absence of recurring mechanical issues across multiple tests implies consistent maintenance, though the 2023 anomaly warrants scrutiny. The mileage of 39,267 miles over nine years equates to an average of 4,363 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age. Notable gaps exist between 2022 (15,185 miles) and 2023 (19,080 miles), followed by a sharp increase to 32,775 miles by 2024. This pattern may indicate periods of inactivity or inconsistent usage, which could affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers if left unaddressed. The MOT history lacks detailed fault reports, limiting definitive conclusions about wear trends. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for dry or worn bushes, check brake discs for uneven wear, and assess corrosion in underbody areas, particularly if the vehicle has experienced prolonged storage. The 2023 failed test with no defects recorded raises questions about potential unreported issues, necessitating a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Overall, the MOT record suggests responsible upkeep but does not eliminate the need for a hands-on evaluation of mechanical and structural integrity.
