2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CU63 LLJ

The 2013 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 64,869 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 4 September 2024 at 52,866 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories or faults. Recorded mileage sits at 64,869 against an August 2025 test, equating to roughly 4,990 miles per year from new. The Kuga covered only 979 miles between the August 2022 test at 39,598 miles and August 2023 at 40,577 miles, then jumped 12,289 miles in the year to August 2024 at 52,866 miles. A failed test on 29 August 2024 at 52,774 miles preceded that pass by six days, though DVSA logs no defects against the failure, implying an administrative or unrecorded minor cause rather than a mechanical fault. Sparse, clean records limit deeper wear analysis. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low annual use, as standing periods promote corrosion and seized components. The absence of advisories across five years suggests previous owners addressed issues pre-test, yet the unexplained 2024 failure warrants verification that no suppressed brake or structural defect exists. Check underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions during any viewing. Low mileage can mask perished rubber and binding calipers that a short test drive will expose.
