2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · ML17 ACY

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 29 May 2025 at 94,349 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive passes without a single failure or advisory note, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car. Between August 2021 at 43,372 miles and May 2025 at 94,349 miles, the vehicle covered 50,977 miles over roughly three years and nine months. This averages to approximately 14,000 miles per year in the latter half of its life, which is slightly higher than the overall lifetime average but suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing. The total absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions over five years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and mileage. It implies a proactive approach to maintenance where consumables were likely replaced before they reached a critical state of wear. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures in the official record. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT test may overlook or that develop rapidly. Check the condition of the gearbox oil and engine lubricants given the 94,349 mileage. Examine the tyre treads and suspension components for wear that may have occurred since the May 2025 test. While the record is clean, verifying the service history for timing belt or water pump replacements is essential for this specific engine and mileage bracket.
