2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CK10 AEB

The 2010 Ford Kuga’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-11 at 95,819 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2025-04-10 at 95,817 miles showed a failure with no defects listed, raising questions about procedural inconsistencies. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 also alternated between pass and fail without recorded issues, suggesting potential administrative errors or unrecorded minor faults. The vehicle’s maintenance history lacks clear evidence of recurring mechanical or structural problems, but the pattern of frequent testing with minimal recorded defects warrants cautious scrutiny. The car’s mileage of 95,819 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 5,989 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, tyres, and fluid systems. Notable gaps in the MOT record include a 12-month interval between the 2023-07-22 test (85,821 miles) and the 2024-08-09 test (92,457 miles), during which the vehicle accrued 6,636 miles. Subsequent tests show slower accumulation, with 3,376 miles added between 2024-08 and 2025-04. The sparse defect data makes it difficult to assess wear trends, but the low mileage suggests potential underuse-related issues. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly in the exhaust system and underbody, given the low mileage and possible inactivity. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may require checking for stiffness or wear, as prolonged inactivity can degrade these parts. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be examined for binding or uneven wear, as the MOT history does not confirm their condition. The absence of recorded tyre tread issues is positive, but tread depth should still be verified. Overall, the MOT data does not reveal critical faults, but the vehicle’s low mileage and testing inconsistencies necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
