2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · NL14 FDC

The 2014 Ford Kuga presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its four most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 20 November 2024 at 106,918 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the maintenance trend has remained consistent rather than worsening or deteriorating over the observed period. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,910 per year against the vehicle's twelve-year lifespan, which is typical for this age of SUV. The records show steady accumulation: 75,847 miles in October 2021, 91,324 by November 2022, 98,621 in November 2023, and 106,918 at the final test. No suspicious gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet across all four entries suggests previous owners kept basic statutory testing current without lapsed certificates. Given the absence of flagged faults, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of wear-prone items the MOT does not deeply assess. At over 100,000 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness warrant physical measurement. Drivetrain mounts and the wet belt if fitted to this engine variant demand scrutiny beyond the pass certificate. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes will not always trigger an advisory on a passing test. A ramp inspection should confirm underbody integrity before purchase, as the clean history reflects test-day condition rather than a guarantee of component life remaining.
