2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · GL67 ACF

The 2017 Ford Kuga presents a fundamentally roadworthy standing in the most recent DVSA test on 26 January 2026 at 61,138 miles, though that date logs both a pass and a fail with no defects cited. Maintenance trend across the available record stays stable. Since the 29 January 2024 examination at 50,649 miles, no advisories or mechanical faults have emerged. Recorded mileage rose from 50,649 at the January 2024 test to 56,710 by 30 January 2025, reaching 61,138 at the January 2026 appointment. This equates to roughly 5,200 miles added each year, below the 6,793 miles per annum norm for a nine-year-old car. The sparse, clean entries show zero consumable wear on tyres or wiper blades, implying light use or careful pre-test preparation by prior keepers. The same-day fail entries of 30 January 2025 and 26 January 2026 carrying no defect description warrant scrutiny of the vehicle's paperwork. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes and front coil springs for degradation, check brake discs and calipers for binding, and assess sills and subframes for corrosion that a snapshot test might overlook. Low annual distance can mask perished rubber from standing. Verify exhaust emissions on cold start and confirm no latent dashboard faults remain after those anomalous failures. Structural integrity appears unchallenged by the data, yet hands-on evaluation remains prudent.
