2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FP10 OBV

The 2010 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 129,329 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 9 November 2023 at 122,906 miles, reversed the next day at 122,910 miles with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or minor rectification rather than a serious mechanical fault. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,083 miles per year. The record shows 119,350 miles in November 2022, rising to 122,910 by November 2023, 126,421 by November 2024, and 129,329 by October 2025. Annual use held near 3,500 to 3,900 miles, with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, showing no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across the timeline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Sixteen years of age invites structural rust on sills, subframes, and suspension mounts even when testers log nothing. Check coil springs, track-rod ends, and brake calipers for binding or seepage that a clean MOT will not always capture. The immediate owner clearly kept the Kuga to a basic pass standard with no flagged wear items. That pattern suggests consumables like tyres and wiper blades were changed only when forced. Verify actual tread depth and fluid condition before purchase, as the record gives no evidence of proactive upkeep beyond statutory testing.
