2009 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FL09 HXT

The 2009 Ford Kuga passed its most recent MOT on 2 April 2025 at 168,226 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only blemishes being two failed tests on consecutive days in March 2025 and March 2023 where the tester logged no defects. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decay. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,900 miles, typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. The records show 142,379 miles on 6 March 2023, rising to 154,817 by 8 March 2024 and 168,226 by April 2025. That is about 12,400 miles added in the final year, a modest increase over prior periods but within normal bounds. The sparse record with clean passes and no advisories gives little insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 168,000-mile accumulation. The MOT logged no structural integrity concerns or exhaust emissions failures, yet the twin failed-then-passed sequences in 2023 and 2025 warrant confirmation the car was not hastily patched between tests. Check underneath for corrosion on subframes and sills, and verify the braking system is free from binding calipers. Previous keepers presented the Kuga for test with no recorded faults, implying basic upkeep was maintained, but the absence of advisories at this mileage is unusual and deserves scrutiny.
