2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · NK63 OKO

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 October 2025 at 79,657 miles. The record shows a single failure two days earlier, also at 79,657 miles, but without any recorded defects, indicating a likely administrative issue rather than a mechanical shortfall. Across the five‑year span the tests have been uniformly successful, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 62,864 miles in December 2022 to 79,657 miles in October 2025, an average of roughly 5,600 miles per year. The incremental increases between each annual test – 4,836 miles to October 2023, 7,075 miles to October 2024, and 4,882 miles to October 2025 – align with typical usage for a vehicle of this age and do not reveal any periods of accelerated wear or prolonged inactivity. No gaps in the MOT schedule are evident, reinforcing the impression of consistent, moderate use. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the suspension components, checking for wear in the front and rear bushes and any signs of cracked coil springs, as these parts endure cumulative stress despite the clean MOT record. Brake discs and pads merit visual and tactile inspection for glazing or uneven wear, especially since the MOT data does not flag any brake issues that might have been missed. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition should be measured, as consumable wear is not captured in the recorded results. Finally, a thorough walk‑around for surface rust, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the under‑body, will confirm the absence of structural corrosion that the MOT may have overlooked. Verifying that the vehicle’s lights, indicators, and exhaust emissions are functioning correctly will round out the assessment, ensuring that the apparent stability of the MOT history translates into a reliable, safe purchase.
