2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · ML17 ACX

This Ford Kuga presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 28 February 2026 at 73,800 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2023, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and kept in a state of immediate compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a nine year old vehicle. The odometer rose from 47,388 miles in March 2023 to 73,800 miles by February 2026. This represents an average annual increase of approximately 8,500 miles over the last three years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The absence of any advisories across multiple years is rare for a vehicle of this age. The record shows no recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Even the failure on 23 February 2024 was resolved on the same day at 55,965 miles, though the record does not specify the nature of that brief defect. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that MOT testers occasionally overlook if they are not yet at a legal limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads. Given the lack of structural flags in the DVSA data, a visual check of the underbody for surface corrosion is a prudent final step to confirm the vehicle's overall integrity.
