2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · DA11 PCY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a trend of improved maintenance following a period of neglect. The most recent test in February 2026 at 92,494 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that previous mechanical and cosmetic issues have been addressed. While the history shows instances of failure related to wear and tear and component degradation, the vehicle has maintained a clean sheet for the last two consecutive annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage older vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between October 2021 (74,890 miles) and October 2022 (88,025 miles), where the car covered over 13,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has returned to a more conservative pace of roughly 4,000 miles annually. This low annual mileage suggests that age-related degradation of rubber components and seals is a greater concern than mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the rear sub-frame, as the 2019 test flagged corrosion that was not yet seriously weakened at the time. The record also notes a persistent oil leak from the rear differential appearing between 2019 and 2020, which requires a close look to ensure the leak has not worsened or become a significant weep. Given the previous failure of a coil spring in 2020 and tyre wear issues in 2022, the suspension geometry and braking system should be checked for signs of premature wear or uneven friction.
