AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 records a PASS at 138 821 miles, indicating the 2009 Ford Kuga remains roadworthy with no recorded defects. The preceding history shows a brief failure on 15 January 2024 at 127 547 miles, followed by an immediate PASS four days later at 127 556 miles, after which the vehicle has consistently passed with no further issues. This pattern reflects a stable to improving maintenance trend, with the owner addressing the isolated fault promptly and maintaining regular testing thereafter. Mileage accumulation has been fairly consistent over the vehicle’s life, averaging roughly 8 166 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 17‑year‑old model. The longest interval between tests spans about 11 months, during which the odometer rose between 5 400 and 6 800 miles, suggesting regular but not excessive driving. The MOT record is clean, with no recurring advisories or fault codes, indicating that basic upkeep has been maintained throughout the ownership period. A prospective buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check brake calipers and discs for binding or uneven wear, and examine the exhaust system for corrosion given the vehicle’s age. Body panels should be examined for rust, particularly around wheel arches and underbody areas, while tyre tread depth and wiper blades are consumable items that merit a close visual check. A thorough service history, if available, would further confirm the reliability of the drivetrain and gearbox components.
