2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · ML67 VTZ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, demonstrating a consistently stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 58,491 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across multiple annual tests suggests that the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to vehicle care, preventing the accumulation of mechanical or structural failures that typically appear on older Ford models. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 26,741 miles and the 2025 test at 58,491 miles, the car covered 31,750 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than erratic bursts. There are no significant gaps that would indicate the vehicle was left stationary for extended periods, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. The relatively low mileage relative to the age of the Kuga increases the likelihood that drivetrain components and suspension bushings remain in better than average physical condition compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the digital record is devoid of faults and advisories, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common wear points that an MOT test does not always catch. Focus on early signs of corrosion on the rear subframe and exhaust mounting points, as these can degrade even with low mileage. Given the low annual usage, check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as rubber can age out if the car is not driven frequently. The lack of recorded brake issues suggests the system is healthy, but a manual check for disc surface rust or pad thickness remains advisable to ensure the vehicle remains in its current excellent state.
