2012 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FD12 RRX

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy condition, having passed its latest inspection on 10 April 2026 with 72,641 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of intermittent failures. While the car failed tests in early 2024 and 2025, the most recent test resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed and rectified the underlying issues to bring the vehicle up to DVSA standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,189 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a gap of 5,017 miles recorded between March 2024 and April 2025, and another 5,483 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This low annual mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or the seizing of brake components due to lack of regular use. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the areas that likely caused the previous failures in 2024 and 2025. Since the record does not specify the exact reasons for those failures, focus attention on the suspension geometry, control arm bushes, and coil springs for signs of cracking or perish. Given the age of the vehicle, it is also vital to check for structural corrosion on the underbody and mounting points, ensuring that the low mileage has not masked age-related rust or perished brake hoses.
