2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · DD13 DEC

The 2016 Ford Kuga presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 September 2025 at 45,844 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since at least 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies statutory test requirements without recurring concerns. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The records show 31,820 miles at the 10 September 2021 test, rising to 35,540 by 5 September 2022, 39,248 by 29 August 2023, 42,504 by 28 August 2024, and 45,844 by 1 September 2025. That equates to roughly 3,500 to 4,300 miles added each year with no gaps between tests and no sudden jumps. The sparse but clean record gives no evidence of neglected intervals or heavy use; the low annual figure suggests light private motoring or extended standing periods. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the fault-free MOT trail. Low mileage combined with age can allow corrosion to develop on structural members, subframes, and brake lines even when the tester recorded no defects. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers should be checked for perishing or seizing from infrequent movement. Verify the service history independently and confirm the recorded mileages against the V5C and prior invoices. The absence of advisories across five tests is reassuring, but MOT passes alone do not confirm consumable condition or prove the longevity of components on a vehicle that has covered under 46,000 miles in a decade.
