Our Verdict
This Ford Kuga is a solid prospect for t
When viewing this 2.0L diesel Kuga, focus on the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been addressed, as is common for engines of this age and mileage. While the MOT history is clean, you should verify that the brake pads and discs have been replaced since the 2022 advisory regarding thin pads.
Check the condition of the tyres and headlamps, as these are the most common failure points for this model according to aggregate data. Given the diesel engine and 85,000-mile mark, it is also worth inspecting the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) for any signs of clogging, especially if the vehicle has been used for short urban trips.
As a 1997cc diesel, this Kuga is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though fuel costs will depend on your annual mileage. You should check the specific tax band for this 2016 model, as diesel rates can vary based on CO2 emissions.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve regular servicing and the occasional replacement of wear-and-tear items like brake pads and tyres. Given the aggregate data, budget for routine inspections of lighting and tyre tread depth to avoid common MOT failures.
Start by reviewing the MOT history, which shows a clean record from 2023 through 2026. However, pay close attention to the braking system; the 2022 MOT recorded thin front brake pads, so you should confirm when the braking components were last fully overhauled.
Additionally, inspect the exterior lighting and tyre condition. Because headlamps and tyres are the top failure reasons for the Ford Kuga model aggregate, ensuring these are in good working order can prevent immediate post-purchase expenses. Check the underside for any signs of corrosion that might not have been flagged in the recent clean tests.
This 2016 blue Ford Kuga has covered 85,362 miles since its registration in March 2016. The MOT history is notably consistent, with four consecutive years of passing without recorded defects following a single advisory for brake pads in 2022. Its mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 7,933 per year, but the recent testing trend is stable.
The Ford Kuga shows an average MOT pass rate of 84.0% across the 261,791 vehicles analysed.
