2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · LL16 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 85,544 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged an inoperative registration plate lamp. This minor electrical fault follows three consecutive years of clean MOT results from March 2023 through March 2025, suggesting that the vehicle has transitioned into a period of consistent upkeep and minimal mechanical degradation. The mileage accumulation appears regular and consistent with the vehicle's age. The car has covered approximately 8,500 miles per year, showing a steady progression from 22,022 miles in March 2019 to the current 85,544 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of prolonged inactivity. The interval between tests remains consistent, with the 2022 test occurring in February and the 2023 test in March, indicating the owner has maintained a predictable service schedule. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and tyre wear patterns noted in the earlier history. The 2020 test recorded misshapen rear tyres, and the 2022 test flagged both front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on edges. These specific advisories often point to underlying issues with wheel alignment, worn suspension bushes, or damaged shock absorbers. While these issues do not appear in the most recent three years of records, a physical inspection of the tyre tread patterns and a check for uneven wear is necessary to ensure any alignment problems have been resolved. Beyond the tyres, the 2019 advisory regarding engine bay covers and under trays preventing full inspection suggests that some components might be difficult to access. Although no structural corrosion or brake binding issues have been recorded, the transition from tyre-related advisories to clean tests implies that previous maintenance addressed consumable wear. Verifying the current condition of the braking system and checking for any signs of fluid leaks under the engine bay remains a prudent step during a physical inspection.
