2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · LG17 LDO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 30 August 2025 at 37,247 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects, continuing a trend of perfect scores across the previous five years. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in older SUVs. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,139 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2022, the car covered only 3,450 miles, indicating long periods of light use. While there was a slight increase in usage between 2024 and 2025, covering 13,928 miles, the total remains well below the national average for its age. This low mileage generally implies less wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it can increase the risk of rubber components degrading due to extended stationary periods. Because the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components often affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check for flat spots on tyres or surface corrosion on brake discs if the car sat idle for long intervals. It is also prudent to inspect the condition of fluid hoses and rubber seals for cracking, as age-related perish can occur regardless of mileage. The lack of structural advisories suggests the chassis integrity remains sound to date.
