2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · ET59 AEJ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 13 December 2025 at 137,885 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2022, suggesting a vehicle that is kept in a state of immediate compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car. Between the September 2022 test at 125,367 miles and the December 2025 test at 137,885 miles, the vehicle covered 12,518 miles over approximately three years. This averages to roughly 4,170 miles per year in the most recent period, which is lower than the overall lifetime average of 8,618 miles per year. Such a decrease in annual usage can sometimes lead to dormant issues like perished rubber seals or battery degradation, though the record shows no evidence of this. A peculiar entry exists on 18 December 2024, where the vehicle failed its MOT at 132,518 miles despite no defects being listed, only to pass five days later at 132,530 miles. This is an irregular administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical failure. Because the record is devoid of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc thickness, or chassis corrosion, there are no specific recurring faults to flag. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust, as the MOT record does not always capture early-stage corrosion. Given the age and mileage, checking for wear in the wheel bearings and the condition of the coil springs is advisable. The lack of reported brake or tyre issues suggests a disciplined approach to consumables, but a manual check of the fluid levels and service stamps would confirm if this mechanical diligence extends beyond the minimum legal requirements.
