2017 Ford Kuga ST-Line Tdci 4X4 2.0L Heavy oil · JP13 AML

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record across the three most recent testing cycles. The latest MOT conducted on 27 March 2025 at 59,954 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2023, suggesting a consistent level of mechanical upkeep by the previous owners. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles annually. There is a notable gap between the November 2021 test and the January 2023 test, where the vehicle covered a limited distance over 14 months. Since then, the accumulation has been steady, with roughly 5,600 miles recorded between the 2023 tests and another 3,600 miles leading into 2024. This low mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and heavy suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. While the MOT history is largely clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related rubber degradation. Given the vehicle's age and relatively low mileage, the suspension arm bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking or perished material despite the low usage. The failure in early January 2023 at 50,593 miles was rectified quickly within a week, but a manual inspection of the brake discs and calipers for surface pitting or binding is advisable to ensure no issues have developed during periods of lower use.
