Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When viewing this specific vehicle, check the condition of the rear brake discs, as the most recent MOT in February 2026 noted pitting and scoring on both the nearside and offside rear inner discs. While these were not classed as failures, they indicate wear that may require attention soon.
Given the previous advisories regarding tyre perishing in 2022 and 2024, inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for any signs of cracking or age-related degradation. Ensure that the service history, which cannot be fully verified by MOT data alone, aligns with the mileage increments seen in the records.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Kuga is geared towards longer-distance driving where fuel efficiency is more pronounced. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized diesel SUV.
Maintenance costs will likely be influenced by the common MOT failure points for this model, such as tyres and brake components. Tax and insurance groups will vary based on the specific trim level, but buyers should budget for standard diesel engine servicing and periodic brake replacements as indicated by the recent MOT advisories.
Focus your inspection on the braking system. The February 2026 MOT specifically highlighted worn, pitted, or scored rear inner brake discs; check if these have been replaced or if the scoring is progressing.
Additionally, pay close attention to the tyres. The vehicle has a history of MOT advisories for perishing or cracking tyres in both 2022 and 2024. Examine the tread depth and the age markings on the tyres to ensure they are not nearing the end of their useful life. Finally, check the headlamps, as this is a common failure reason for this model aggregate.
This 2016 grey Ford Kuga has covered 58,551 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,940 miles per year for its age. The MOT history across the last five years shows four passes and no major failures, though it has encountered minor advisories regarding tyres and brake discs. It represents a well-used but documented example of this 2.0L diesel model.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 84% MOT pass rate, with common issues typically involving headlamps, tyres, and brake pads.
