2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CT17 CCJ

The 2017 Ford Kuga presents a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 20 May 2025 at 73,587 miles. A failed test occurred on the same day at the identical mileage, though the record shows no defects, suggesting an aborted test or an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical failure. The vehicle has passed every annual inspection since 2022 without a single advisory or defect, indicating a diligent approach to preventative maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical issues. The mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,176 miles per year. Between the February 2022 test at 34,264 miles and the April 2024 test at 57,874 miles, the Kuga covered 23,610 miles over 26 months, reflecting a steady pace of regular use. However, the odometer jumped to 73,587 miles by the May 2025 test, representing a 15,713-mile increase over the preceding 13 months. This recent uptick suggests a shift toward higher daily utilization or longer commutes, though the overall odometer reading remains entirely reasonable for the chassis age. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of consumable components and structural integrity. The recent increase in annual mileage warrants a close examination of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, alongside a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue. Tyre condition and tread depth deserve particular attention, as higher mileage accelerates wear on these consumables. Underbody inspection for corrosion is also prudent, ensuring the structural integrity remains uncompromised despite the vehicle's age and the recent jump in usage.
