2009 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · LL09 YLF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 17 January 2025 at 82,270 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day that yielded no specific defect data. This anomaly suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately or was a clerical error, as the vehicle has maintained a clean sheet since 2022. The mileage pattern is characteristically low for a seventeen-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 4,839 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 70,676 miles and January 2025 at 82,270 miles, the car covered only 11,594 miles. This low rate of use suggests light usage, which typically reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain components and braking systems. However, low mileage on older vehicles can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, issues that are not always captured by the MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as the age of the vehicle increases the risk of corrosion in hidden areas. Despite the clean history, check the control arm bushes, coil springs, and exhaust mounts for cracking or perished from age rather than use. Given the low mileage, verify the condition of the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from surface rust and internal seizing.
