2009 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · LO09 WSL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent MOT test. The inspection conducted on 25 March 2024 at 125,174 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from failing tests to a clean certificate suggests the current owner has taken proactive steps to rectify identified faults rather than neglecting them. At 125,174 miles over 17 years, the Ford Kuga has averaged approximately 7,363 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a significant period of activity between November 2022 and March 2024, where the car covered over 16,000 miles in roughly sixteen months. Conversely, the gap between April 2023 and November 2022 shows very little movement, with only a hundred miles recorded, suggesting a period of low use or stationary storage during that specific window. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that led to the failures in November 2022 and April 2023. Although the record does not specify the exact components for those failures, recurring issues within short timeframes at the same mileage often relate to wear items like suspension bushes, brake components, or exhaust leaks. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and the suspension mounting points is essential to ensure no deep-seated rust is developing despite the recent clean passes.
