2014 Ford Kuga 1.6L Petrol · JD61 BAD

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on April 23, 2025 at 41,118 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has been well-kept and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures that typically appear on older records. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 3,426 miles per year. Between April 2021 and April 2025, the vehicle covered 17,698 miles, showing a consistent annual usage of roughly 3,400 to 4,000 miles. This low mileage suggests minimal wear on drivetrain, engine, and suspension components. However, long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown, which are not always captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than just distance traveled. While the MOT record shows no faults, the tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking or flat spots, as rubber hardens over time regardless use. The brake discs require inspection for surface corrosion or pitting due to low-frequency use of the system. Additionally, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for signs of perish cracking to ensure the low mileage has not allowed the materials to become brittle over the decade.
