2009 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EY59 XHF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in the May 2026 test at 78,411 miles. This most recent result shows no defects, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, moving from a series of failures in 2024 and 2025 to a defect-free certificate. The vehicle has covered 78,411 miles over approximately 17 years, averaging roughly 4,600 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests light usage or significant periods of inactivity. The data shows consistent annual testing, with the mileage increasing by approximately 8,000 to 9,000 miles between each consecutive MOT. The most recent interval between May 2025 and May 2026 saw an increase of 9,326 miles, which is slightly higher than previous years but remains low for a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and battery mounting. The May 2024 test flagged a fractured nearside rear coil spring and light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorbers. While the 2025 test identified a worn offside front lower suspension arm bush, the 2026 pass implies these components have been serviced or replaced. The record also shows a recurring advisory regarding an insecure battery, which has appeared in every test since May 2024. The history also indicates some neglect regarding consumables and minor electrical upkeep. The 2025 test involved a failure for a non-working nearside front position lamp and identified a nail in the offside rear tyre alongside perishing tread. While these are minor issues, the presence of child seats obstructing the inspection of adult seat belts in multiple years suggests that the vehicle's interior configuration occasionally hindered thorough testing. Physical inspection of the tyre condition and the battery securing mechanism is advised.
