2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · CU67 OJP

The 2017 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 36,923 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since at least 2022. Annual mileage sits well below typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show 25,160 miles at the 14 March 2022 test, rising to 26,147 by 8 March 2023, 27,968 by 12 March 2024, 32,476 by 7 March 2025, and 36,923 by March 2026. That averages roughly 2,940 miles per year across the recorded span, confirming light use. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the DVSA data is sparse but consistently clean, with zero advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the fault-free history. Low mileage combined with the Kuga's known propensity for rear suspension arm corrosion and front coil spring fractures means underside structural integrity and spring condition warrant close checking. Standing periods implied by low use can accelerate brake disc pitting and seizing of calipers even where the tester logged no binding. Verify service history independently, as MOT passes alone do not confirm cambelt, fluid, or drivetrain upkeep. The absence of recorded advisories suggests prior owners kept basic statutory standards, but the record gives no evidence of proactive mechanical care beyond the minimum legal threshold.
