2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FG66 VLD

The 2016 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 December 2025 at 87,673 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean annual examinations. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history. Annual mileage has tracked close to the expected average for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 49,688 miles at the 17 December 2021 test, rising to 59,093 by 15 December 2022, 68,894 by 20 December 2023, 78,695 by 19 December 2024, and 87,673 by the 2025 test. That equates to roughly 9,000 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant periods. The sparse, fault-free ledger suggests the previous keeper kept to a disciplined service and inspection routine. With no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake binding, or exhaust emission failures logged, the Kuga shows no recurring defect pattern requiring corrective concern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes, as MOT testers may miss incipient rust not yet at test threshold. Verify the condition of brake discs and calipers, and check tyre sidewalls for age cracking given the low annual use. The clean advisory sheet means no consumable neglect or serious mechanical risk is evidenced in the official data. Treat the 2025 pass as current, being seven months old relative to today. Routine pre-purchase checks on drivetrain leaks and coil spring fatigue remain sensible given the vehicle's age.
