2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · MM17 EFO

The 2017 Ford Kuga shows a stable roadworthiness trend, with the latest DVSA test on 7 August 2025 at 67,546 miles recording a pass and no defects. Earlier examinations on 1 August 2024 at 60,986 miles, 18 October 2023 at 55,049 miles, 13 January 2023 at 48,011 miles and 11 January 2022 at 39,890 miles each returned passes with no advisories. The vehicle has cleared every annual assessment without mechanical or structural flags. Mileage accumulation sits within typical bounds for a nine-year-old car. The record traces 39,890 miles in January 2022 rising to 48,011 by January 2023, then 55,049 by October 2023, 60,986 by August 2024 and 67,546 by August 2025. Annual use averaged roughly 7,500 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant periods. Sparse defect data reflects a clean rather than skipped history. Five straight passes without advisories imply the former owner maintained suspension, brakes and emissions to a standard that avoided test-lane warnings. The tester logged no worn bushes, fractured coil springs, binding calipers or excessive corrosion. Such consistency suggests basic upkeep was not skipped, though an MOT examines only presented condition. A purchaser should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity beneath the sills and subframe for rust, measure brake disc wear and confirm caliper operation, and scrutinise suspension arm bushes for age-related perishing. Verify tyre tread depth and sidewall health despite the absence of recorded faults. These checks will validate the documentary evidence of careful ownership.
