2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CV16 FSF

The 2016 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy following a pass on 5 March 2025 at 38,985 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes and a single failure on 1 March 2025 at 38,967 miles that recorded no defects, indicating the failure was administrative rather than mechanical. No advisories or recurring faults appear in any test, showing the vehicle has avoided documented wear-related issues through its inspected life. Recorded mileage stands at 38,985 against a March 2025 test, equating to roughly 3,900 miles per year since first registration. The odometer moved from 29,421 in March 2022 to 33,600 by March 2023, then 36,296 in March 2024 and 38,967 by March 2025. Annual accumulation stayed between 2,700 and 3,700 miles with no gaps or sudden jumps. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing clean sheets throughout, which implies light use but offers no insight into standing periods or deferred consumable care. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely intermittent use. Standing time can accelerate corrosion on structural members and brake calipers even when MOT tests show clear. The March 2025 failure with zero defects suggests a documentation or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault, but verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm. Tyres and wiper blades will need physical checks despite no advisories being raised. Low annual mileage often masks aged rubber and flat-spotted tyres from storage. The Kuga's record shows no worsening pattern, yet pre-purchase scrutiny of underside rust and binding calipers remains prudent given the ten-year age.
