2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · MT17 GVL

This 2017 Ford Kuga presents an exceptionally strong roadworthiness status with a maintenance trend that remains entirely stable and clear of faults. In the most recent test conducted on February 11, 2026, at 65,160 miles, the vehicle passed cleanly with zero defects or advisories recorded. This flawless outcome mirrors four consecutive clean passes on March 4, 2025, at 48,235 miles, February 26, 2024, at 44,387 miles, February 28, 2023, at 40,299 miles, and April 19, 2022, at 34,752 miles. Such a streak indicates that previous keepers practiced proactive maintenance and addressed mechanical upkeep without letting issues roll over to test day. The mileage accumulation sits at roughly 7,240 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK averages for a medium SUV of this age. A noticeable surge occurred between the March 2025 test at 48,235 miles and the February 2026 test at 65,160 miles, accumulating nearly 17,000 miles in under twelve months. This heavier annual usage contrasts with the slower, steady accumulation of roughly 4,000 to 5,500 miles per year observed between 2022 and 2024. The data reveals no extended periods of standing, ensuring that mechanical seals, fluids, and battery health avoided the deterioration commonly associated with dormant vehicles. Because the MOT history contains zero recorded advisories across all five annual examinations, the DVSA data offers no historical pattern of recurring mechanical failures, worn suspension bushes, or structural corrosion to flag. The complete absence of previous minor defects means a physical inspection should focus strictly on standard consumable items that naturally require replacement during a high-mileage year, such as brake pad and disc wear, tyre tread depth across all four corners, and suspension dampener efficiency. Buyers should also verify the condition of the drivetrain and clutch during a road test to ensure the recent spike in annual mileage has not accelerated wear on heavy-use components.
