2013 Ford Kuga Titanium X 4X4 Tdci Auto 2.0L Diesel · GU63 UHM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its latest MOT on 21 May 2026 at 75,039 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a brief period of failure earlier in the same month. The two failures recorded at 74,889 and 74,979 miles show no listed defects, which suggests either administrative errors during the retest process or minor non-testable issues that were rectified immediately before the final pass rather than a pattern of recurring mechanical failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,772 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the October 2024 test at 59,523 miles and the October 2025 test at 73,846 miles, where the car covered over 14,000 miles in a single year. The subsequent drop in mileage accumulation leading to May 2026 indicates a recent period of limited use. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the age suggests that rubber components and seals may be subject to degradation from time rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on signs of age-related wear that MOT tests do not capture, specifically structural corrosion on the chassis. Inspect the suspension bushes and control arms for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often sit while these components perish. Given the 4x4 configuration and automatic gearbox, it is vital to check for fluid leaks and transfer case health to ensure the systems have not seized or degraded during the periods of inactivity indicated by the mileage data.
