2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · GN13 XHS

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on January 12 2026 with 156,085 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has cleared consecutive annual tests without major failures. While previous records showed minor consumable issues, the lack of advisories in the latest report suggests that immediate mechanical or structural concerns are currently meeting minimum legal standards. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 156,085 miles reflects a high annual average of approximately 12,000 miles per year. The usage pattern is consistent, with a significant jump of 6,541 miles recorded between November 2024 and January 2026, and another 5,686 miles in the year leading up to that. This high-mileage profile typically places greater stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components compared to lower-mileage examples of the same age. A person-person inspection should pay close attention to the recurring tyre wear issues noted in the 2024 and 2025 tests, where both nearside and offside rear tyres were flagged for being worn close to the limit and on the edge. This pattern often indicates an alignment issue or worn shock absorbers which could cause premature tyre degradation. Given the high mileage, the buyer should also verify the condition of the rear chassis for corrosion and check for play in the suspension control arms, as these are common points of failure on vehicles of this age and usage level.
