2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · ML11 ABX

The 2011 Ford Kuga demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its recent MOT history, with the most recent test on 2022-12-01 at 126,179 miles recording a pass and no defects. The prior 2021-12-06 test at 110,382 miles also passed without issues, while the 2021-11-25 failure at 110,375 miles noted no defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor technicality. The 2020-11-10 and 2019-11-11 tests similarly passed with no recorded faults, indicating consistent maintenance practices over the past four years. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the data, though the 2021 failure without defects warrants cautious scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage progression aligns with typical usage for its age, averaging approximately 8,412 miles annually. The 2019-11-11 test at 85,216 miles (assuming a likely typo in the original data) to 2022-12-01 at 126,179 miles shows steady accumulation with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The 2021-11-25 failure occurred just 11 days before the subsequent pass, raising questions about the reliability of that test outcome. Overall, the MOT record lacks significant gaps or irregularities, suggesting the owner prioritized regular inspections. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without obvious symptoms. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is advised to confirm no hidden wear. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or corrosion in critical areas may not appear in MOT records. The lack of advisories on tyres or exhaust emissions implies routine upkeep, though a closer look at tread depth and exhaust system condition is recommended to confirm compliance with current standards.
