2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · MA64 HFX

The 2014 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 August 2025 at 93,482 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from August 2022 through August 2024 also show clean sheets. No advisories or recurring mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not entered a pattern of worsening wear or neglected upkeep. Mileage sits at a typical level for a twelve-year-old car. The record shows 68,839 miles on 17 August 2022, rising to 80,462 by 8 August 2023, then 86,888 on 7 August 2024, and 93,482 at the final test. That equates to roughly 7,800 miles per year, a steady and unremarkable accumulation with no sudden jumps or long dormant periods. The single failure on 6 August 2024 at 86,886 miles lists no defects, and the vehicle passed cleanly the next day, suggesting an administrative or test-error issue rather than a mechanical concern. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions problems, the buyer faces low documented risk from prior MOT failures. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody structural integrity, as these items are not always captured when no defect is recorded. No recurring faults demand targeted investigation. The buyer should nonetheless verify service history and check for intermittent faults that a single annual test cannot expose, particularly around drivetrain wear at 93,000 miles.
