2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FT64 CKX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT as of 24 June 2026, having passed after the off‑side rear tyre was replaced following a failure on 23 June 2026 for insufficient tread depth and rear sub‑frame corrosion. The recent pass indicates that the immediate safety concerns have been rectified, and the overall maintenance trend appears stable, with tyre wear being the only recurring issue. Recorded mileage of 84 125 mi over twelve years yields an average of roughly 7 000 mi per annum, a figure consistent with typical usage for a family SUV of this age. Mileage increments between successive tests – 39 666 mi in July 2020 to 84 125 mi in June 2026 – show steady accumulation rather than abrupt spikes, suggesting no prolonged periods of neglect or unusually heavy use. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of all four tyres, focusing on tread depth and sidewall integrity, especially the off‑side rear tyre that was recently fitted. Inspection of the rear sub‑frame for any residual corrosion is advisable, as the 2026‑06‑23 failure flagged this area. The parking brake, which failed the efficiency test in July 2020, warrants a functional check. Finally, a visual and tactile assessment of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will confirm that no hidden wear has developed beyond the documented tyre concerns.
