2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · DP17 HHR

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on April 2026 at 80,740 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak of perfect tests suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical requirements and prevented components from reaching states that typically trigger a formal MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between May 2022 at 38,661 miles and April 2026 at 80,740 miles, the car covered 42,079 miles, showing a steady usage pattern without unexplained spikes or long periods of inactivity that often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The intervals between tests remain regular, generally falling within annual cycles, which ensures the vehicle has been monitored frequently for safety-critical items under the DVSA test standards. While the digital history shows no recurring advisories for structural rust or mechanical failure, a physical inspection should still focus on common wear points for the Kuga model. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show signs of fatigue at this mileage despite a clean MOT pass. Additionally, examining the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning is Prudent, as the MOT test does not explicitly measure the remaining life of consumable components unless they present a functional defect.
