Our Verdict
A fair example of a 2014 Kuga with avera
Focus your attention on the chassis and braking system. The November 2025 MOT recorded corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear upper suspension arms; while noted as not seriously weakened at the time, this is a key area for negotiation or immediate professional inspection. Ensure you verify the service history for the 2.0L diesel engine to confirm regular oil and filter changes.
Given the recent MOT failure and subsequent pass within 24 hours, confirm that the tyre cut and indicator issues were rectified with quality parts. Check for any signs of oil leaks or smoke from the exhaust, which are common considerations for diesel engines of this age and mileage.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Kuga offers a balance of torque and efficiency, though fuel economy will be typical for a 2014-era SUV. Road tax will be determined by the vehicle's CO2 emissions band for its registration year, and insurance typically falls into a mid-range group for this model.
Maintenance costs are likely to rise in the short term. The recent MOT advisories regarding rear brake pads and suspension arm corrosion suggest that these components will require replacement soon to avoid future MOT failures.
Prioritise an inspection of the rear suspension. Specifically, check the rear upper suspension arms for the corrosion mentioned in the 2025 MOT record. You should also check the thickness of the offside rear brake pads, as these were flagged as wearing thin in November 2025.
Examine all four tyres carefully. This vehicle has a history of tyre issues, including wear close to the legal limit on the rear tyres in 2023 and a sidewall cut on the offside front in 2025. Ensure the current tyres have sufficient tread and no visible bulges or cuts.
This grey Ford Kuga has covered 90,092 miles since July 2014, which aligns closely with the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history shows a generally consistent record, although a failure in November 2025 highlighted a tyre cut and a discoloured indicator. Recent advisories specifically point toward corrosion on the rear upper suspension arms and wearing brake pads.
The Ford Kuga has an average MOT pass rate of 84.0%, with tyres and brake pads being among the most common failure points across the model range.
