2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · MM14 UNY

The 1997cc diesel engine provides a balance of power and fuel economy suitable for a mid-sized SUV, though it will attract a higher road tax band than smaller displacement engines. Insurance costs are typical for the Kuga's insurance group, and maintenance is generally straightforward due to the model's prevalence in the UK.

Annual costs will be driven primarily by diesel fuel prices and the necessity of routine servicing. Given the engine size and age, you should budget for standard diesel maintenance requirements to keep the vehicle in its current state.

Although this specific vehicle has a clean MOT history, you should still inspect the headlamps, tyres, and brake pads, as these are the most common failure points across the wider Kuga population. Check for any uneven tyre wear which could indicate alignment issues.

Inspect the grey exterior paintwork for any age-related blemishes and check the underbody for signs of corrosion. While no defects were noted in the recent MOTs, a physical inspection of the brake pad thickness is advised to determine when the next replacement will be required.
