2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EK17 EWX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 17 March 2026 at 49,654 miles yielded a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior. This immediate rectification suggests a minor administrative error or a simple consumable issue that the previous owner addressed instantly to secure the retest, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining the vehicle's legal compliance. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,517 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 35,829 miles and March 2026 at 49,654 miles, the car covered 13,825 miles. This low usage pattern typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to average-run Kugas. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from age-related degradation of rubber or surface corrosion on brake components if the car has sat stationary for extended periods between tests. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or scoring, which can occur on cars that are not used frequently. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking or dry rot, as these materials perish over time regardless of the distance driven. While the record shows no structural failures or recurring mechanical faults, a visual check of the underbody for early-stage corrosion remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
