2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FP10 BKG

The 2010 Ford Kuga presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 97,506 miles on 19 December 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing stable and free of recorded defects across its recent history. The vehicle cleared the latest test with no advisories or faults logged, and the preceding entries show no mechanical or structural issues carried forward. This indicates the car entered the 2026 period in a sound tested condition, though the pattern of test outcomes warrants a closer look at owner diligence. Recorded mileage stands at 97,506 against a 16 year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,094 miles per year which is typical for the age. The odometer moved from 88,827 miles at the March 2023 test to 93,445 by March 2024, then to 97,480 by July 2025 and 97,506 in December 2025. Low annual accumulation suggests lighter use, yet the gap between the March 2024 and July 2025 tests spans over fifteen months, a period with no recorded intermediate inspection. The clean defect record across all entries means the data is sparse on wear indicators such as tyre condition, brake discs, or suspension bushes. The test history shows two failures dated 24 July 2025 and 14 March 2024, both at 97,480 and 93,445 miles respectively, yet the DVSA record lists no defects recorded for either. A fail with no logged defect typically points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault on the vehicle. The owner cleared both through retests on the same day in March 2024 and within five months in 2025, implying the car was not off the road for prolonged repair. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity, subframe corrosion, and suspension components given the vehicle's age and the absence of advisories that would normally appear on a 16 year old Kuga. Check the front coil springs, track rod ends, and rear brake calipers for binding or seepage not captured by the bare MOT log. Verify the lengthy 2024 to 2025 gap did not mask standing moisture damage or perished rubber bushes through lack of use.
