2009 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EX09 ABZ

This vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 146,936 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements without the need for corrective repairs between tests. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 17 year old vehicle. Between December 2021 at 119,836 miles and March 2026 at 146,936 miles, the car covered 27,100 miles. This averages to roughly 6,775 miles per year over the last five years, showing consistent usage rather than long periods of standing, which helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of any advisories or failures over the last five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still physically inspect the underside for structural corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. These components often wear gradually and may not trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical state. Priority should be given to checking the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as the MOT record does not track these essential internal engine maintenance items. Inspecting the brake discs for lip wear and checking the depth of the tyre treads will confirm if the current owner is maintaining the vehicle beyond the minimum legal requirements.
