2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FL10 NJN

The 2010 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 14 July 2025 at 188,738 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the four preceding annual tests from July 2022 to July 2024, the vehicle also passed with no advisories or faults noted, indicating consistent mechanical condition over the prior three-year window. The recorded mileage shows typical use for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 146,408 miles at the July 2022 test to 160,946 miles in July 2023, then 175,798 miles in July 2024, and 188,738 miles by July 2025. That equates to roughly 12,000 to 13,000 miles per year, close to the 11,796-mile annual average for the age. The MOT data is sparse in faults but shows a duplicate entry on 7 July 2022 where the car failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, a likely administrative anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive components not captured by a clean MOT. At 188,738 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear merit physical checks, as these items degrade with use even without tester advisories. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes should be examined, given the vehicle's 2010 build year and sixteen years of UK road exposure. The absence of recorded advisories across five consecutive tests suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the high mileage means consumable and drivetrain fatigue is probable. Pre-purchase scrutiny of the timing belt, clutch, and four-wheel alignment remains advisable before committing to purchase.
