2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · FN17 EXA

The 2017 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 52,296 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not entered a worsening or neglected condition. Recorded mileage sits at 52,296 miles against a nine-year age, an average of roughly 5,811 miles per year. The DVSA data shows light and consistent use: 39,617 miles at the 22 October 2022 test, 43,902 miles on 9 November 2023, 46,715 miles on 25 October 2024, and 52,296 miles on 4 November 2025. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps exist between entries. The sparse, defect-free record gives little evidence of deferred consumable replacement or structural neglect. A failed entry on 9 November 2023 at 43,902 miles shows no defects recorded, with a passing certificate issued the same day at identical mileage. This points to an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. The buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the low annual mileage suggests possible long stationary periods that accelerate corrosion and rubber perishing. No recurring wear trends or serious structural risks emerge from the MOT history. The previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline without lapse. A pre-purchase check of underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions remains sensible, but the documentary record supports a low-risk purchase.
