2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · JB07 JON

The 2017 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 2 July 2025 at 64,651 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle carries a clean test outcome in its latest examination and shows no advisories or defects logged at any stage. Prior to this, the Kuga failed the test on 1 July 2025 at 64,557 miles and again on 11 July 2024 at 60,143 miles, yet both failures recorded no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage stands at 64,651 against an approximate nine-year lifespan, equating to around 7,183 miles per year which is typical for the age. The odometer moved from 54,474 miles at the 29 June 2023 test to 60,143 miles by 11 July 2024, then to 64,651 miles by 2 July 2025. This reflects consistent annual use of roughly 5,000 to 5,600 miles with no sudden accumulation spikes or prolonged standing gaps. The sparse record shows three passes and two defect-free failures across three years, leaving little granular wear data. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the absence of recorded advisories offers no insight into consumable condition. The repeated nil-defect failures suggest the previous owner attended to statutory testing promptly but the DVSA entries give no evidence of underlying structural corrosion or drivetrain care. Verify the 2024 and 2025 failures were clerical by checking the V5C and testing lane paperwork before purchase. Given the Kuga's lower-than-average annual mileage, components such as tyres, wiper blades and exhaust emissions may have aged through time rather than use. Inspect for perishing rubber and mild underbody corrosion despite the clean MOT trail. The vehicle's history implies basic compliance rather than proactive maintenance, so a pre-purchase mechanical appraisal remains prudent.
