2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · DA64 CYL

The 2014 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 101,742 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 23 August 2023 at 85,365 miles confirms a multi-year run without flagged faults. The record shows no recurring advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion across the available history. Mileage sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The Kuga covered roughly 8,478 miles per year, with the odometer reading 77,142 miles at the August 2022 test, 85,365 by August 2023, 91,117 by May 2024, and 101,742 by May 2025. The gap between the August 2023 and May 2024 entries reflects a shifted test cycle rather than a sudden accumulation, and the annual increments remain consistent with light-to-moderate private use. One anomaly requires context rather than alarm. On 21 May 2024 the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at 91,117 miles with no defects listed on either outcome, indicating an administrative or data-recording irregularity at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. The previous owner maintained the test schedule without lapsing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items not captured by a clean MOT, specifically tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody corrosion around subframes and sills. The absence of advisories does not exempt the Kuga from age-related wear on dampers and exhaust emissions components, and a pre-purchase check of brake caliper freedom and steering joint play remains sound practice at 101,742 miles.
