2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · NG10 AAJ

The 2010 Ford Kuga’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-12 at 128,127 miles recorded a pass, but the same date also shows a fail with no defects listed. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded issues. Previous tests in 2024-09-24 and 2023-09-23 showed similar patterns, with passes and fails at identical mileages. No structural, suspension, or brake-related defects were noted across the history, indicating a stable maintenance trend despite the repeated failures. However, the lack of recorded faults raises concerns about the reliability of the MOT data. The vehicle’s mileage of 128,127 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 8,008 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The 2023-09-23 test at 111,709 miles and the 2024-09-24 test at 122,201 miles show a 10,492-mile gap, followed by a 6,000-mile increase to 128,127 by 2025-09-12. This suggests regular use but no extreme mileage spikes. The absence of advisories for high-wear components like tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes implies minimal consumable degradation, though this may not reflect hidden mechanical strain. Buyers should verify the vehicle’s actual condition through a professional inspection, focusing on the suspension system, as repeated MOT failures without recorded defects could indicate unresolved issues. Check for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, common in 16-year-old vehicles. Inspect the brake calipers and discs for binding, and confirm the steering and suspension bushes are intact. The lack of detailed MOT records limits confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical history, necessitating independent verification.
