Our Verdict
This 2017 Ford Kuga presents a strong value proposition with an unblemished MOT history and below-average mileage for its age. Ideal for buyers seeking a reliable family SUV.
Prioritise verifying service records to confirm the vehicle's maintenance history, as MOT data alone does not reflect routine servicing. Negotiate based on its low mileage versus typical usage for a 2017 model. Be cautious of potential hidden costs associated with the 1.5L petrol engine, which may require specific maintenance. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic is recommended to confirm the vehicle's mechanical condition.
The 1.5L petrol engine likely offers moderate fuel economy, with typical urban consumption around 35-40 mpg. As a petrol vehicle registered after 2017, it incurs £155 annual road tax. Insurance groups for this engine size typically range from 15-20, affecting premiums. Routine maintenance costs are average for a vehicle of this age, with expected expenses for oil changes, brake inspections, and filter replacements. Estimated annual running costs: £800-£1,000.
While MOT records show no defects, inspect for signs of engine oil consumption common in 1.5L petrol engines. Check transmission fluid levels and look for leaks around the engine bay. Verify that all service intervals have been met using the service book. Examine the suspension components for wear, as Kugas are prone to bushing degradation over time. Pay close attention to the exhaust system for rust or cracks, which can develop in older vehicles.
The vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record across six consecutive annual tests, with mileage increasing steadily from 29,786 to 45,302 miles. The 1.5L petrol engine benefits from consistent maintenance, though no model-wide reliability data is available. Its low mileage and clean history suggest careful ownership.
No aggregate MOT data available for Ford Kuga models to assess broader reliability trends.
