2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EX61 XBF

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently good, as the most recent MOT inspection in June 2026 passed with a clean score of 115,019 miles, indicating that the vehicle is still drivable. However, the maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of recurring issues that suggest the vehicle may not be in optimal condition for extended use. The test dates show a significant gap between the 2026-01-23 and 2026-01-21 checks, with the vehicle failing on Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and nearside front position lamps at 115,017 miles. This absence of a clean MOT record for the first two weeks of the year implies that the owner likely did not perform a full MOT or maintained the vehicle's systems properly during this period. The subsequent MOTs in September 2024 and August 2023 also failed on suspension components and oil leaks, suggesting that the owner may have relied on the vehicle's condition rather than regular servicing. A buyer should inspect the rear subframe and suspension bushes for corrosion, as these components are frequently identified as failing in both the most recent and earlier tests. The failure of the ABS system and the lack of a clean MOT record for the first two weeks of the year indicate that the vehicle may require immediate attention to the braking system and wheel alignment. The oil leaks and misting in the front and rear shock absorbers suggest that the vehicle is likely experiencing wear on these critical components, which could lead to reduced handling and increased failure rates.
