2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · OO13 JLP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on 7 April 2026 at 77,181 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just twenty miles earlier on the same day. This initial failure without any recorded specific defect suggests a minor or isolated issue that was rectified immediately, as the subsequent pass indicates the vehicle currently meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. Between the March 2023 test at 65,802 miles and the April 2026 test at 77,181 miles, the vehicle covered 11,379 miles, reflecting steady and moderate usage. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on heavy drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it can occasionally lead to the perishation of rubber components if the car sits stationary for extended periods. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical advisories or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Kuga of this age. A buyer should check the control arm bushes andার for signs of cracking, as low mileage does not prevent rubber degradation over a decade. Given the low usage, the brake discs should be inspected for surface pitting or rust, which often occurs on vehicles that are not driven frequently enough to keep braking surfaces clean.
