2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · ML17 AEC

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 September 2025 at 82,784 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the immediate pass suggests a minor administrative error or a rapid rectification of a trivial issue, as no specific defects were listed for either entry. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine year old vehicle. It has covered approximately 9,198 miles per year, showing steady accumulation across the recorded history. Between 4 June 2024 and 6 June 2025, the car covered 7,834 miles, and a further 1,141 miles were added by September 2025. This linear progression indicates regular use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which helps maintain seal integrity and battery health. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no advisories or failures regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion over the last three years. This lack of flagged issues suggests a disciplined approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A buyer should still perform a physical check of common wear items that may not trigger an MOT failure. Focus on the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads, as these consumables are not explicitly detailed in the clean pass records. Checking for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay will confirm if the mechanical health matches the pristine DVSA record.
