2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EN66 AEA

The 2017 Ford Kuga holds a valid pass certificate from the 21 October 2025 test at 62,366 miles, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend is mixed, showing a worsening pattern in tyre condition and recurring brake disc wear, while the suspension dust cover failure in 2024 and the new oil leak in 2025 suggest intermittent neglect of protective components. The odometer progression from 18,085 miles in January 2020 to 62,366 miles in October 2025 reflects consistent annual usage of roughly 6,900 to 10,700 miles, with no extended storage gaps or abnormal accumulation. This steady mileage rate indicates regular use rather than long periods standing, which typically produces more predictable wear on brakes, suspension, and tyres. A buyer should prioritise checking the rear tyre tread depth and wear pattern, given the 2025 failure for tread below 1.6mm and the 2023 advisories for edge wear. The front and rear brake discs should be measured for thickness and assessed for pitting, as both have been flagged since 2021. The nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover requires inspection for integrity and grease retention, and the engine should be examined for the oil leak noted in October 2025 to determine if it originates from a gasket or seal that could worsen.
