2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · MP63 ART

The 2013 Ford Kuga demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT result, which passed on 2025-08-14 at 123,538 miles with no defects recorded. The prior test in 2024-08-17 at 115,545 miles also passed, while an earlier failure on 2024-08-14 at 115,516 miles reported no defects. This pattern suggests no critical mechanical issues in the last three years, though the unexplained failure without recorded defects raises minor concerns. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows consistent testing intervals, with no evidence of prolonged neglect. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,503 miles annually. The 2023-08-08 test at 110,829 miles and 2022-12-06 test at 103,487 miles indicate steady usage without significant gaps. However, the 2024-08-14 failure occurred just three days before a passing test at the same mileage, suggesting potential inconsistencies in testing outcomes. The absence of defect details for both the failure and subsequent pass limits the ability to assess underlying issues, though no major concerns are explicitly flagged. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without visible MOT failures. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often develop gradually. The exhaust system and structural integrity, though not mentioned in the records, warrant scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age. The lack of detailed defect reports means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden faults not captured in the MOT history.
