2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · GN67 WMP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025 with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent failure immediately prior to that pass due to significant tyre damage on the offside front, offside rear, and nearside rear tyres. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the presence of multiple cuts reaching the ply cords suggests a reactive approach to tyre maintenance rather than preventative replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year over the nine-year period. Between September 2020 (27,138 miles) and October 2025 (70,590 miles), the car covered roughly 43,000 miles, indicating steady and typical usage. There are no unexplained gaps in the testing schedule, though the jump of 9,400 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests aligns with the low-mileage average, which is generally beneficial for the longevity of mechanical and rubber-based components. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The 2021 test flagged all four brake pads as wearing thin, and the 2022 test noted the front tyres were worn to the limit and on the edges, which can indicate alignment issues or uneven wear. Given the recent failure related to multiple damaged tyres, it is essential to verify the current age and condition of all remaining tyres to ensure they are not mismatched or suffering from structural damage that escaped the previous inspection.
