2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EX13 AAJ

As a 2.0L diesel, this Kuga is designed for higher mileage efficiency, though actual costs will depend on driving style. You should expect mid-range fuel economy typical for a compact SUV of this era.

Maintenance costs may be influenced by the recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes and oil leaks. Budget for regular tyre replacements, as the MOT history shows multiple instances of tyres being worn close to the legal limit. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated to be in the mid-range for this vehicle class.

Specifically inspect the rear suspension area. The 2025 MOT records noted trailing arm bushes on both the nearside and offside rear, so check for any residual knocking or uneven tyre wear which could indicate the issue persists.

Perform a visual check under the bonnet for signs of the central front oil leak mentioned in the 2023 and 2025 records. Additionally, verify that all wheel bolts are present and secure, following the 2025 failure where multiple fixings were missing. Finally, check the condition of the brake discs, as pitting and scoring were noted in the 2023 test.
