2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · ML17 ACU

This Ford Kuga demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy. The most recent MOT on 9 January 2026 at 71,351 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and kept in a condition that exceeds the typical wear seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 7,928 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between January 2025 and January 2026, where the odometer rose from 58,382 to 71,351 miles. This jump of nearly 13,000 miles in a single year indicates a shift toward heavier use, yet the absence of any new advisories during the 2026 test suggests the mechanical components are coping well with the increased load. Because the MOT history is devoid of recurring faults, there are no specific red flags regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. The record shows no history of failing on tyre tread or wiper blades, which implies the previous owner did not neglect basic consumables. A physical inspection should still focus on standard wear items not always captured in a pass. Check the condition of the brake pads and tyre depths given the recent increase in annual mileage. Inspect the underside for any surface corrosion common to the chassis of this era, although the clean MOT record suggests the structural integrity remains sound.
