2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · CV67 NBD

The 2017 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 April 2025 at 56,996 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed entry on the same date at 56,994 miles shows no defects listed, indicating an administrative or pre-correction rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a clean pass. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,300 miles per year against the vehicle's nine-year age, a typical usage rate for this class. The records show steady accumulation: 29,799 miles in April 2022, 38,897 in April 2023, 45,822 in April 2024, and 56,996 by April 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA history is sparse and clean across all five tests, with zero advisories or reported wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low annual mileage combined with the Kuga's known susceptibility to rear suspension arm corrosion and driveshaft wear means visual checks of structural integrity and underbody condition remain prudent. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the absence of advisories offers no insight into consumable remaining life. Focus the viewing on brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and exhaust emissions at cold start. Verify the 7 April 2025 fail/pass pair with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed rectification. The vehicle's light use pattern warrants scrutiny of perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres from standing periods.
