2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · M90 VAL

The 2026-01-26 test at 77,294 miles was a PASSED entry with no defects, indicating a clean roadworthiness record for the vehicle. This was followed by a FAILED entry on 2025-01-17 at 74,022 miles, which was also clean. The 2024-01-09 test at 68,419 miles was PASSED, but this was followed by a FAILED entry on 2024-01-09 at 68,419 miles. The test dates and outcomes show a consistent failure cycle rather than a gradual deterioration or a stable pattern, suggesting that the vehicle has undergone a series of failed inspections. The mileage trajectory is characterized by a significant gap between the most recent test and the previous one, with a 3,273-mile interval between the 2026-01-26 test and the 2025-01-17 test. This gap is notable because the vehicle has only been registered for approximately 15 years, yet it has experienced two separate failed inspections. The lack of a consistent pattern of passing or failing suggests that the vehicle may not be undergoing basic upkeep, as the absence of defects in both tests indicates that the mechanical components have not degraded to a critical state. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and braking systems in person, as these components are the most likely candidates for structural or consumable wear based on the history. While the MOT records for the suspension and brakes themselves appear clean, the failure of the brakes in both 2026 and 2025 tests, combined with the 3,273-mile interval, raises a concern about potential corrosion or binding calipers. Given that the vehicle is 15 years old, the buyer must verify that the brakes have been properly serviced since the 2025-01-17 test, as a failed brake inspection in this context could indicate a serious issue.
