2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · KP63 CSY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 11 May 2023 at 94,475 miles passed after an initial failure caused by thin rear brake pads, pitted discs, and a failed offside headlamp. While the vehicle met the minimum standard, the recurring nature of brake-related failures across three different years suggests that the owner typically only addresses mechanical issues once they reach the point of MOT test failure. The mileage progression is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,267 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the data between May 2023 and the current date of July 2026, meaning the vehicle has not undergone an official inspection in over three years. The jump from 85,450 miles in 2022 to 94,475 miles indicates steady usage, but the lack of recent documentation provides no clarity on the current state of rubber components or braking hardware which degrade over time regardless of mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension assembly, as the 2020 test flagged worn trailing arm bushes on both sides. The history shows a persistent trend of brake wear, with pads and scored discs noted in 2019, 2020, and 2023, necessitating a physical check for caliper binding and sufficient material thickness on the current components. Given the previous failures for low tread depth and sidew damage, the current condition of all four tyres and wiper blades requires verification to ensure basic upkeep has not been neglected since the last recorded test.
