2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EO16 BEU

The 2016 Ford Kuga’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-28 at 91,123 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle met current roadworthiness standards. However, the preceding test on 2025-08-06 at 90,804 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting potential inconsistencies in testing or minor issues unresolved. The 2023 and 2022 tests showed similar patterns, with passes and fails alternating without recorded faults. This erratic trend implies possible maintenance oversights or technical anomalies, though no critical mechanical or structural issues were explicitly flagged. The vehicle’s mileage of 91,123 miles over 10 years aligns with average annual usage of ~9,112 miles, reflecting typical wear for its age. The MOT records show regular testing intervals, with the longest gap between 2022-11-15 (66,606 miles) and 2023-11-21 (77,210 miles), a 12-month span covering ~10,604 miles. Subsequent tests in 2023 and 2025 maintained similar intervals, suggesting consistent monitoring. However, the lack of defect details in multiple fails raises questions about the thoroughness of inspections or the presence of transient issues that resolved before the final pass. A prospective buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the braking system, suspension components, and exhaust emissions, as these areas often accumulate wear over time. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate the need for physical checks, particularly for binding calipers, worn suspension bushes, or corrosion in high-mileage vehicles. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as undetected rust or panel damage could compromise safety. While the MOT history shows no overt failures, the pattern of unexplained fails and passes underscores the importance of a pre-purchase mechanical survey to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond recorded data.
