2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · KP14 ABZ

The 2014 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 16 October 2025 at 85,742 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 27 October 2021 through to the latest pass returned a clean result. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, no recurring advisories, and no failed tests across the five-year documented span. Annual mileage averages close to 7,145 miles against the car's twelve-year life, a typical figure for this age of vehicle. The records chart steady accumulation: 59,329 miles in October 2021, 66,391 in October 2022, 73,172 in October 2023, 79,859 in October 2024, and 85,742 in October 2025. No gaps exist between tests and no year shows abnormal jump in distance covered. The clean sheet at each interval implies the previous keeper kept to scheduled testing and addressed any consumable wear before the examiner logged it. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the Kuga's age and the absence of recorded advisories that might otherwise flag gradual degradation. The DVSA data carries no structural corrosion notes, yet underside rust can develop unseen between tests on a vehicle now over a decade old. Verify the condition of exhaust emissions components and check for binding calipers during a road trial. The absence of fault history is a positive signal of prior care, but a clean MOT is not a substitute for a independent mechanical appraisal. Focus scrutiny on tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than tread, and confirm service records align with the low annual mileage.
