2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · GE14 JAM

The 2014 Ford Kuga presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 123,662 miles showing no advisories or defects. This consistency extends back through the previous four annual tests— 19 October 2024 (117,225 miles) , 19 October 2023 (110,973 miles) , 13 October 2022 (103,672 miles) , and 7 October 2021 (91,643 miles) —all of which passed without any recorded issues. The absence of recurring advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no signs of neglect in critical areas such as brakes, suspension, or structural integrity. The fact that the car has passed every MOT since at least 2021 without any major concerns is a strong indicator of reliable upkeep, though it does not preclude the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection. The mileage accumulation of 123,662 miles over 12 years averages roughly 10,305 miles per annum , which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps in the mileage record, implying steady but not excessive use. The incremental increases— 12,347 miles between 2021 and 2022 , 12,701 miles between 2022 and 2023 , and 6,248 miles between 2024 and 2025 —suggest the car may have seen reduced activity in the past year, possibly due to seasonal or personal factors. While this lower recent mileage could indicate lighter use, it also means some wear-prone components, such as tyres and brake pads, may have slightly more life remaining than if the car had been driven aggressively. Given the flawless MOT record, a buyer should still prioritise a pre-purchase inspection focusing on wear items not covered by the MOT , such as tyre condition beyond legal tread depth, brake fluid condition, and the health of suspension components like coil springs and bushings. Although the MOT history shows no binding brakes or uneven disc wear, a closer look at brake calipers, pads, and rotors is prudent, especially if the car has been driven lightly recently. Structural checks—particularly around wheel arches, sills, and underbody corrosion—are also advisable, as rust can develop between tests. Finally, given the age of the vehicle, a review of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion and the cooling system for leaks or blockages would be sensible, even in the absence of MOT advisories.
