Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those needing
Verify the full service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals, as the mileage is higher than average for this model. Check for invoices relating to the brake disc and pad replacements and the new front tyres required for the April 2026 MOT.
Given that the offside rear inner tyre was flagged as worn in both 2024 and 2025, you should confirm if a four-wheel alignment was performed. If the current tyres show any signs of uneven wear, this should be used as a point for price negotiation.
The 2.0L diesel engine provides a balance of torque and efficiency for a vehicle of this weight, though fuel costs will depend on the split between urban and motorway driving. Insurance groups for the Kuga are generally mid-range, but a specific quote for registration MS04HYS is advised.
Maintenance costs are typical for a Ford, but the recent requirement for new brake discs and pads indicates the ongoing costs associated with the vehicle's weight and mileage. Expect annual costs to include diesel, road tax, and a provision for tyre replacements.
Inspect the front brake discs and pads to ensure the work carried out following the April 2026 failure was performed correctly. Check the tread depth and wear patterns of all tyres, specifically the inner edges of the rear tyres, as these were noted as worn in two consecutive MOT tests (2024 and 2025).
Confirm that the registration plate lamp is functioning and that there are no other electrical warnings on the dashboard. A visual check of the grey paintwork for any age-related wear is also recommended.
This grey 2017 Ford Kuga has recorded 89,410 miles, which is above the model aggregate average of 7,933 miles per year. Its MOT history includes four passes and one failure in April 2026, with the failure relating to brakes, tyres, and a lamp. The most recent test on 22nd April 2026 was passed with no defects recorded.
The Ford Kuga has an average MOT pass rate of 84%, with tyres and brake pads identified as the most common reasons for failure.
