2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · FH17 ACF

The 2017 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 8 April 2026 at 60,613 miles. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record, with no advisories or defects logged on any test. A prior failure on 30 March 2026 at 60,334 miles carries no recorded defects, which points to a non-mechanical administrative or presentation issue rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. Recorded mileage sits at 60,613 against a nine-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,735 miles per year and falling within typical use for the age. The odometer moved from 39,695 on 15 December 2022 to 45,542 on 18 December 2023, then to 53,445 on 9 April 2025 and 60,613 by April 2026. The gaps show steady, light annual accumulation with no sudden high-use spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing only clean passes aside from the unexplained March 2026 failure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the Kuga's age and the absence of any advisory history that might otherwise confirm those items were checked and cleared. The unexplained failure close to the current date warrants verification of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no suppressed defect or documentation anomaly. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be examined in person, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not guarantee freedom from early rust on sills or subframes. The clean trail suggests prior owners kept basic statutory testing in order, but low mileage can mask perished seals and standing-water corrosion that a static test will not always capture.
