2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · DA13 EWD

The 2013 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 7 January 2026 at 127,514 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in January 2025 at 119,322 miles and December 2023 at 110,170 miles also passed cleanly. The only anomaly appears on 3 January 2023, when the vehicle failed and then passed on the same day at 101,922 miles with no defects listed in either entry, suggesting an administrative or processing error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 9,800 miles, consistent with typical use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The records show smooth year-on-year accumulation: 101,922 miles in early 2023, 110,170 by December that year, 119,322 in January 2025, and 127,514 by January 2026. No gaps or sudden spikes in distance travelled are present, and the clean pass history across four successive years indicates the previous keeper maintained basic statutory test compliance without deferred entries. Given the absence of any advisories or recorded defects across the available MOT data, no recurring wear patterns such as worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or failing brake discs are flagged for this example. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common Kuga weak points including rear suspension coil springs, driveshaft gaiters, and underbody structural integrity for corrosion, as MOT passes with no defects do not certify component life remaining. The clean record implies the vehicle received adequate routine care, though the 2023 same-day fail-pass with zero defects warrants a check of the DVSA portal to confirm no omitted fault data. At 127,514 miles, expect imminent consumable replacement on tyres, brake pads, and fluid intervals regardless of the test outcome.
