2012 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · HG12 PCY

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 82,377 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle to meet DVSA standards, avoiding the recurring mechanical failures or structural issues often seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old Kuga, averaging approximately 5,884 miles per annum. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 22,172 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or sudden heavy use. The intervals between tests remain consistent, with annual increments of roughly 6,000 miles. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or fluid breakdown due to extended periods of stationary time. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage age vehicles. A buyer should check for perished suspension bushes, cracked engine mounts, and aging brake hoses, which degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Since the history shows no recorded corrosion, a thorough check of the chassis and rear mounting points is still necessary to ensure that structural integrity has not begun to deteriorate. Additionally, verifying the brake discs for pitting or thinning is advisable, as low-use vehicles often develop surface rust if not used frequently enough to clear the rotors.
