2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · FE17 JRU

The 2017 Ford Kuga is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 17 February 2026 at 53,788 miles. The test recorded only an advisory on the rear registration plate, with no failures, indicating that the vehicle meets the statutory safety standards. Recurring tyre‑damage advisories and brake‑disc wear have persisted over the past three years, but the absence of new defects suggests a stable maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating one. Mileage has risen from 39,538 miles in February 2023 to 53,788 miles in February 2026, an average of roughly 5,900 miles per year. The increments of 5,432 miles between February 2023 and February 2024, 4,846 miles to February 2025, and 3,972 miles to February 2026 show a consistent, moderate usage pattern with no abrupt spikes. This low‑to‑moderate annual mileage is typical for a vehicle of this age and implies relatively light wear on major components, though the record does not reveal any prolonged periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should examine the tyre condition closely, as both rear tyres have been flagged for cracking or perishing in successive tests and the front tyres were close to the legal tread limit in 2025. Brake discs and pads on the rear axle have been noted as pitted and thin; a visual inspection for scoring and a test of braking efficiency are advisable. The wiper blades failed to clear the windscreen effectively in the 2023 test, so confirming current wiper performance is prudent. Finally, verify that the rear registration plate remains legible and inspect the vehicle for any unseen corrosion or suspension bush wear that may not have been captured by the MOT.
