Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2012 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 30 December 2025 at 101,658 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The December 2025 test recorded no defects, and prior passes in January 2025 at 94,423 miles and January 2024 at 85,856 miles also showed clean sheets. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories emerge from the data. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,261 miles per year against the 101,658 miles recorded. The gap between the January 2024 test at 85,855 miles and the January 2025 test at 94,423 miles shows about 8,568 miles covered, then 7,235 miles to the December 2025 pass. The record is sparse but clean, with no intermediate tests logged outside these annual windows. Two failed tests appear on the same dates as subsequent passes, both on 11 January 2024 at 85,855 miles and 30 December 2025 at 101,653 miles, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects for either failure. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical rejection, since the vehicle passed within the same day with no faults raised. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the unexplained fail-pass pairs. The absence of recorded advisories means consumable wear on tyres and wiper blades remains undocumented, so physical verification of tread depth and screen condition is warranted before purchase.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Ford Kuga (D25 EBX) between January 2015 and December 2025.

The record contains 12 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 30 December 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (14 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a))”; “Nearside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
