2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FE60 ABZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of mechanical attention. The most recent MOT tests in May 2025 and May 2026 at 80,875 and 82,328 miles respectively returned clean sheets with no defects recorded. This follows a failed test in May 2024 where the tester flagged a missing offside steering rack gaiter and front tyres worn to the legal limit. The successful progression from that failure to the current clean results suggests that the owner has addressed both the steering component and the consumable tyre wear. The vehicle covers low mileage for its age, averaging approximately 5,146 miles per year. The data shows consistent, steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity. Between May 2023 and May 2024, the vehicle covered 1,787 miles, and it has covered 4,653 miles in the two years since the 2024 failure. This low-intensity usage pattern often correlates with less mechanical strain on the drivetrain, though it can sometimes mask issues that arise from infrequent operation. A prospective buyer should focus on the vehicle's structural integrity and suspension components. The MOT history shows a recurring trend of corrosion, specifically regarding the rear subframe which was flagged in 2020 and 2021, and the rear coil springs which showed corrosion in April 2022. While the 2022 advisory noted that the subframe corrosion did not significantly reduce structural rigidity, the history of broken and corroded springs suggests the underbody is susceptible to environmental degradation. Brake maintenance is another area requiring scrutiny. The records from 2021 and 2022 show repeated advisories for thinning brake pads and pitted or scored discs. While the most recent tests show no current issues, the history of wear indicates that the braking system requires regular monitoring. An in-person inspection of the underside to check the current state of the subframe and the condition of the rear suspension mounting points is highly recommended.
