2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · DC13 ACZ

The 2013 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 9 December 2025 at 66,246 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, and prior annual examinations returned similarly clean results once the vehicle cleared its initial failure. The pattern suggests consistent mechanical condition with no escalating faults. Recorded mileage sits at 66,246 against a December 2025 pass, equating to roughly 5,096 miles per year from new. The Kuga covered 8,625 miles between the December 2023 test at 51,874 miles and the December 2024 test at 60,499 miles, then added 5,747 miles to the December 2025 figure. Low annual use implies lighter load on drivetrain and suspension components, though standing periods can permit corrosion or perished seals unseen in the bare record. The DVSA data flags two failed tests on 8 December 2025 and 2 December 2024, both at identical mileages to the following day's passes and both listing no defects. This points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection, not owner neglect of consumables or structure. No advisories for brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions appear across the three years. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe corrosion, brake caliper freedom, and tyre sidewall condition given the car's age and low-use profile. The absence of recorded advisories does not certify component life; thirteen years invites stealth rust on sills and trailing arms that a road test exposes. Verify service history to confirm fluids and timing belt intervals were met despite the modest mileage.
