2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FP16 XMF

The 2016 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 48,967 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests from 2021 through 2024 also passed cleanly, showing no advisories or recurring mechanical faults across the five-year DVSA history. The recorded mileage reflects light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The Kuga covered just 4,351 miles between the 2024 test at 44,616 miles and the 2025 test at 48,967 miles. Annual accumulation held steady around 3,000 to 4,500 miles from 34,413 miles in July 2021 to the current reading. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence. The clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection beneath the car. Low-mileage vehicles left standing for periods can develop corrosion on subframes, suspension mounting points, and brake lines not visible in a pass-only MOT. The tester logged no advisories on coil springs, suspension bushes, or brake discs, but these parts age with time as well as mileage. Verify the service history matches the low annual use. Check tyre sidewalls for cracking from storage, and confirm brake calipers are free rather than seized after light driving. The MOT data alone shows disciplined upkeep, yet physical inspection remains essential before purchase.
