2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · MA11 ADZ

The 2011 Ford Kuga demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-05 at 154,677 miles resulting in a pass and no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2026-02-25 at 154,526 miles failed despite no defects being listed, suggesting potential procedural or technical inconsistencies. The trend from 2024 to 2026 shows no escalating mechanical issues, as all subsequent tests at similar mileages passed without recorded faults. This indicates the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards, though the February 2026 failure without explanation warrants cautious scrutiny. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 10,312 miles annually. The 2025-03-10 pass at 145,185 miles followed by a failure 12 miles later on 2025-03-04 raises questions about data accuracy or temporary operational issues. Between 2024-02-13 and 2025-03-10, the odometer increased by 11,517 miles, reflecting consistent annual usage. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, though the proximity of the two March 2025 tests suggests potential administrative overlap or minor discrepancies in recording. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of recorded brake-related defects does not preclude a thorough check of brake discs, calipers, and pad wear, as these components often degrade gradually. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody and chassis, should also be assessed, as undetected rust can compromise integrity. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the February 2026 failure without explanation underscores the need for a professional mechanical evaluation to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
