2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · DC17 AEO

This Ford Kuga presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 110,799 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of three previous clean tests dating back to May 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements without recurring failures. The mileage is high for a nine year old vehicle, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between June 2023 and June 2024, where the odometer climbed from 77,198 to 96,126 miles. The most recent interval shows a further increase to 110,799 miles by May 2025. Such high mileage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though the lack of MOT advisories suggests these have been managed or replaced as needed. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high wear items that do not always trigger an immediate MOT failure. Given the 110,799 mile total, check for play in the steering rack and the condition of the shock absorbers. Inspect the brake discs for lip wear and the pads for remaining thickness, as the record shows no recent mentions of brake replacements. Check the underside for surface corrosion, particularly around the suspension mounting points and sills, as these areas are prone to rust in older Kugas regardless of a clean MOT. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes have kept pace with the high annual mileage, as the MOT record only confirms roadworthiness and not the internal health of the engine or gearbox.
