2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · LS10 YFR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the December 2023 test at 121,510 miles. While the record shows a failure in November 2023 just two miles prior, the lack of any recorded defects suggests a minor non-conformity, such as a blown bulb or a sensor fault, which was rectified immediately before the retest. Since that period, the car has maintained no further recorded advisories or failures, indicating a consistent level of basic mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the car covered 10,281 miles, which represents a standard usage cycle. The subsequent interval of 3,730 miles between October 2022 and December 2023 tests shows a period of lower use. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive strain, reducing the impact on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most prone to age-related degradation on this model. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle warrants a close check of suspension bushes and control arm joints, which often perish before failing an MOT test. Given the vehicle's age, inspecting the brake lines for corrosion and checking the integrity of the rear arches is essential, as the MOT record does not capture surface-level rust until it reaches a structural threshold.
