2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · OB02 ASH

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 49,773 miles resulted in no recorded defects, maintaining a stable trend of mechanical compliance over the last several years. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical or structural failures typically triggering MOT advisories or failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,530 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 30,979 miles and February 2025 at 41,485 miles, the car covered 10,506 miles, indicating a recent increase in usage compared to previous annual averages. However, the total distance remains well under 50,000 miles for the vehicle's age, which generally correlates with less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should still focus on components affected by low-mileage storage or age. Inspect rubber-based parts such as suspension bushes, split boots, and tyre sidewalls for cracking or perish rot, which can occur when vehicles are driven infrequently. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to uneven degradation of the friction surface despite a passing test.
