2012 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EJ12 ABO

This Ford Kuga demonstrates a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 18 November 2025 at 144,611 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that avoids common age-related failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's fourteen-year age. It covered 6,506 miles between November 2024 and November 2025, and 4,672 miles in the preceding year. These figures suggest regular, moderate use rather than erratic bursts of high mileage or prolonged periods of standing, which typically helps preserve rubber components and prevents seals from drying out. The absence of any advisories over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishability, as these often wear without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Checking for underside corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear subframe, is essential since the DVSA records do not flag any structural integrity issues. Given the lack of recorded faults, focus your physical inspection on the condition of the brake discs and tyres. The record shows no history of binding calipers or tread depth failures, but consumables will naturally require replacement at this mileage. Verify that the service history aligns with the clean MOT record to ensure the lack of defects is due to proactive maintenance rather than a lenient testing regime.
