Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise the fuel system during your inspection. The August 2026 advisory for leaking injector seals is a significant point; ensure these have been addressed, as neglected seals can lead to more costly engine repairs. You should also request a detailed receipt for the work carried out to resolve the 'Engine MIL' failure recorded on 24 August 2026 to ensure the underlying fault was fixed rather than simply reset.
Negotiate the price based on the immediate maintenance requirements. The MOT history explicitly flags that both front and rear brake pads are wearing thin, and the front suspension arm bushes have been an advisory since August 2025. These are inevitable wear-and-tear items for a vehicle of this age and mileage, but they represent an immediate cost for the new owner.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Kuga offers a balance of torque and motorway efficiency, though tax bands for 2014 diesel models are generally higher than those for newer equivalents. Insurance costs will be typical for a mid-sized family SUV in this age bracket.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher in the short term given the recorded advisories for brakes, suspension, and oil leaks. Regular servicing of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and timing belt is critical for this engine variant to avoid expensive failures.
Focus on the underbody and engine bay. Specifically, check for evidence of the 'not excessive' oil leak and the leaking injector seals mentioned in the August 2026 MOT. Inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside, as these have been flagged as worn since 2025.
Check the condition of the brakes; the most recent MOT notes that both front and rear pads are wearing thin. Finally, verify the operation of the offside mirror and side repeater, which were the cause of the failure in August 2026, to ensure they have been replaced or repaired to a professional standard.
This white 2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L diesel has covered 102,399 miles. The MOT history shows a generally consistent record, though the most recent test in August 2026 required repairs to the engine management light and exterior mirrors. It currently carries several advisories regarding oil leaks, leaking injector seals, and worn suspension components.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 84.0%, with common failure points typically being headlamps, tyres, and brake pads.
