2012 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CV62 HRC

The 2012 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 102,648 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the supplied record. Mileage sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,332 miles per year. The record moves from 81,825 miles at the failed October 2022 test to 81,926 miles on the pass one week later, then 92,357 miles in October 2023, 97,706 miles in August 2024, and 102,648 miles in July 2025. Annual accumulation stays consistent at around 5,000 to 10,000 miles with no sudden jumps or long dormant gaps. The clean run of passes suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current. The only blemish is the failure on 19 October 2022 at 81,825 miles, where the tester logged no specific defects yet the car failed. A pass followed on 26 October 2022 at 81,926 miles with no defects, so the issue was resolved within seven days, likely an administrative or undocumented minor item rather than mechanical neglect. Failing without recorded defects is unusual and points to either a paperwork error or a fault cleared before notation. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age. The MOT history gives no advisories on these, but a fourteen-year-old Kuga is prone to structural rust and worn consumables unseen in a pass result. Verify the October 2022 failure cause with the prior owner or garage records before purchase.
