2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · DA67 SZF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the documented MOT history. The most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 68,006 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure with no specific defects recorded. This suggests a minor administrative or superficial issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a pattern of mechanical or structural failure. Since 2022, the car has consistently passed its inspections without recorded advisories, indicating a consistent level of basic maintenance by the previous owners. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between August 2022 at 41,209 miles and August 2024 at 59,464 miles, the car covered 18,255 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The jump of 8,542 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests maintains this trend. This low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain, suspension rubber components, and brake systems compared to high-mileage urban vehicles. Given the clean history devoid of recurring advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related degradation rather than acute mechanical failure. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and the coil springs for fatigue, as these components can perish over time regardless of low mileage. Examine the brake discs for corrosion and check the chassis for surface rust around the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT record does not have previously flagged structural integrity as a point of concern.
