2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · ND67 ACX

On 7 April 2026, the tester passed the 2017 Ford Kuga at 70,193 miles, recording zero defects and confirming a stable maintenance trend. The preceding examinations tell the same story. The 20 March 2025 test at 67,624 miles, the 8 April 2024 test at 65,366 miles, the 15 March 2023 at 62,238 miles and the 5 April 2022 at 59,611 miles all returned passes with no advisories. This unbroken run reflects disciplined ownership rather than patched-up failures. Recorded mileage sits at 70,193 after roughly nine years, averaging 7,799 miles per year against its age. The periodic tests expose a pronounced reduction in annual use. Between 5 April 2022 and 15 March 2023 the odometer advanced only 2,627 miles. The following year to 8 April 2024 added 3,128 miles, then 2,258 miles to 20 March 2025, and 2,569 miles to the latest 7 April 2026 reading. Such low yearly distances point to gentle, likely urban or occasional leisure driving by previous owners, with no rapid accumulation that would accelerate drivetrain wear. No entry flags recurring suspension, brake or structural faults across the five-year record. The examiner never cited binding calipers, worn coil springs, corroded members or excessive emissions. Such consistency implies previous owners rectified wear items proactively and likely serviced the car to schedule. A purchaser must still inspect the underbody for latent corrosion, check brake disc thickness and caliper slide, and probe suspension bushes for cracking, since a clean MOT offers only a snapshot. Assess tyre sidewalls and tread despite the absence of advisories.
