2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EX61 WNU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a clean MOT history over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2023 at 106,625 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum standards at that time. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2020, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the mechanical integrity and safety components effectively. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 97,513 miles and the June 2023 test at 106,625 miles, the car covered 9,112 miles in thirteen months. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing component corrosion. The single failure recorded in May 2021 at 89,271 miles was immediately rectified, as the vehicle passed the same day, showing a proactive approach to necessary repairs. Despite the clean history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common wear points for a Kuga of this age and mileage. The last record is now three years old, meaning the current state of brake components, suspension bushes, and rubber hoses is unverified by the DVSA. Focus on the underside for structural rust, particularly around the mounting points and check for signs of oil leaks from shock absorbers. Since the vehicle has crossed the 100,000-mile mark, the drivetrain components and exhaust system should also be closely examined to ensure no significant degradation has occurred since the 2023 test.
