2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · LO67 XMJ

The 2017 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 24,218 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean annual results. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has not required corrective work within the scope of the MOT. The mileage pattern shows consistently low use for a nine-year-old vehicle. From the 11 August 2021 test at 14,045 miles, the Kuga accumulated just 10,173 miles over the following four years, averaging under 2,700 miles annually. The August 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 tests logged 16,236, 19,010, 21,586 and 24,218 miles respectively, with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Such low, steady figures suggest prolonged standing periods are plausible alongside light running. A clean MOT record with no flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust emissions issues means no recurring mechanical faults demand attention from the history alone. The absence of advisories does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Low mileage combined with possible long standing invites checks for perished rubber components, seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres and underbody corrosion not yet visible to the tester. Prospective owners should commission a independent pre-purchase examination focusing on structural integrity and fluid condition. The DVSA data implies previous keepers maintained basic statutory compliance, though the sparse defect list offers no insight into intermediate servicing. Verify service records against the low mileage to confirm the Kuga received lubrication and coolant changes despite limited road use.
