2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · NJ67 ADV

This Ford Kuga presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 17 June 2025 at 62,251 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This continues a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very light duty. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,917 miles per year. There is a notable increase in annual usage between July 2022 at 32,383 miles and June 2024 at 52,296 miles, where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles over two years. Since then, the rate of accumulation has slowed, with approximately 10,000 miles added between June 2024 and June 2025. The absence of any recorded advisories across multiple years is uncommon and indicates a proactive approach to maintenance. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 24 July 2023 at 45,874 miles, though the lack of listed defects suggests this may have been a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical fault. A physical inspection should focus on common age-related wear that MOT tests sometimes overlook. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishment, as these often degrade regardless of low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not sticking, as the low annual mileage can occasionally lead to binding brakes if the vehicle spends long periods stationary.
