2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CP63 FBK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a concerning trend regarding structural surface oxidation. In the most recent test on October 2025 at 48,886 miles, the vehicle passed despite an advisory for the rear sub-frame being corroded. This specific issue was also noted during the October 2024 test at 46,404 miles, suggesting that the corrosion is persistent but has not yet reached the threshold of structural failure. The mileage profile is significantly low for a vehicle of 2013, averaging approximately 3,760 miles per annum. Data shows a consistent, low-usage pattern, moving from 39,651 miles in October 2021 to the current 48,886 miles in late 2025. While low mileage often implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of braking hardware due to lack of regular heat and movement. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame to determine the depth of the corrosion, as it has been flagged for two consecutive years. The presence of under trays has consistently blocked the tester's view of components since 2021, which may mask the true extent of the rust on the mounting points or structural lines. Additionally, the 2024 test noted both front tyres were worn to the legal limit with edge wear, which may indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to ensure even tyre wear moving forward.
