2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · HX63 DXB

The vehicle maintains a functional roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025 at 74,744 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While the most recent test only identified a minor cosmetic defect to the windscreen, previous entries show a pattern of wear-related components being addressed only once they reached critical advisory or failure thresholds. At 74,744 miles over 13 years, this Kuga has significantly below average mileage, averaging approximately 5,750 miles annually. This low usage profile is consistent across the recorded gaps, such as the 8,339-mile interval between November 2023 and December 2024. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related rubber degradation, as evidenced by the December 2022 advisories where tyres showed perishing and cracking, suggesting the vehicle may sit for extended periods which accelerates material oxidation rather than tread wear. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The December 2024 test flagged both rear inner brake pads as wearing thin, and while this was noted months ago, the lack of a follow-up replacement suggests the pads may now be nearing the end of their life. Additionally, inspect the sidewalls of all tyres for further cracking, given the perishing issues reported in 2022. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is necessary, as low-mile vehicles often suffer from surface rust in areas where moisture is not cleared away by regular driving heat.
