2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · LC55 CAM

The vehicle presents a clean and stable maintenance record, having passed its most recent MOT on 02 July 2025 at 106,583 miles without a single defect or advisory notice. This outcome aligns with the previous four annual inspections, which also concluded with clean passes. The absence of recurring mechanical faults or minor component failures over the last five years indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a reliable roadworthy condition by its previous keepers. The mileage accumulation shows a significant shift in usage patterns over the last two years. While the vehicle averaged roughly 25,000 miles per year between December 2021 and December 2022, the pace of use accelerated sharply between December 2023 and December 2024, adding approximately 21,000 miles in that twelve-month window. The most recent interval between December 2024 and July 2025 saw a further 10,000 miles added in just seven months. This indicates the vehicle has transitioned from light or moderate use to high-intensity motorway or long-distance commuting, which typically places increased stress on the drivetrain and suspension systems. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that endure high-mileage wear, specifically the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these are often overlooked during routine MOT checks but will be nearing the end of their effective service life given the recent rapid mileage accumulation. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns or glazing, as the recent high-mileage usage may have accelerated consumable degradation. While the MOT history is exemplary, the current mileage necessitates a thorough check of the engine bay for fluid leaks and an assessment of the clutch or automatic transmission performance to ensure the drivetrain remains robust under the recent increased load.
