2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · MJ16 AEF

The 2025‑10‑14 MOT at 60,034 miles passed with no defects, confirming a stable roadworthiness status. Earlier records show recurring suspension arm wear and tyre edge wear, but none of these issues have re‑appeared in the latest assessment, indicating that the vehicle’s condition has not deteriorated since the prior inspection. The mileage trajectory from 19,384 miles in March 2019 to 60,034 miles in October 2025 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 6,000 miles, consistent with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old SUV. The interval between the 2020‑03‑02 test (21,970 miles) and the 2020‑11‑17 test (22,446 miles) covers only 476 miles in eight months, suggesting a brief period of low activity, while the jump from 2021‑11‑29 (31,115 miles) to 2022‑11‑29 (39,223 miles) adds 8,108 miles in a year, indicating regular driving. The 2025 test repeats the same mileage as the previous entry, implying a re‑test on the same day with identical readings. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, as the 2024‑11‑22 test recorded wear on both sides without excessive movement. The repeated tyre edge wear noted in 2023 and 2022 suggests possible mis‑alignment or aggressive driving, so the tyre tread depth, wheel alignment and tyre sidewalls must be examined. The missing offside road wheel fixing in 2022 points to potential structural damage or corrosion around the wheel arches that should be verified. Finally, the headlamp aim faults recorded on 2025‑10‑14 require verification of the adjustment mechanisms and the condition of the lamp units, while the earlier failure at 39,185 miles concerning the front wheel fixing indicates that the chassis and suspension mounting points merit a close visual and tactile check for rust or cracks.
