2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · EY17 SCV

The 2017 Ford Kuga has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across four consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 25 June 2025 at 59,075 miles yielding no defects. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend, though the absence of advisories or minor faults in the record means no recurring issues have been formally documented. The vehicle has not yet reached the typical 60,000-mile interval where suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper wear often emerge as common failure points. However, the lack of advisories also implies that even minor concerns—such as worn suspension components or subtle brake binding—may have gone unrecorded, leaving them as potential blind spots for a buyer. The mileage progression indicates a steady usage pattern, averaging around 6,564 miles annually, which aligns with typical light-to-moderate driving for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps between tests, though the 2022 to 2023 interval shows a slight increase in annual mileage (from ~6,500 to ~7,500 miles), which could reflect seasonal driving habits or minor variations in usage. The most recent MOT, just over a year ago, means the vehicle is due for its next test soon, but the consistent pass history suggests no urgent mechanical concerns have been overlooked. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components, particularly the suspension system—focusing on the condition of rear coil springs, bushes, and track rods, as these are common failure points at this mileage. The brakes, though not flagged in the MOT, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has seen wet or salted roads. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, for signs of rust penetration that could compromise the chassis. Given the clean MOT record, no major faults are expected, but these areas remain critical for long-term reliability.
