2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · PF03 RLF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 16 July 2025 at 66,085 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, mirroring the previous four years of identical results. This suggests a vehicle maintained to a standard where mechanical and structural failures have been avoided over the last five years of testing. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 5,083 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the car covered 17,397 miles, showing a very consistent usage pattern of roughly 4,350 miles per annual interval. This low usage indicates short-distance trips, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such low-mile vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber-based components or brake corrosion due to inactivity rather than mechanical strain. Despite the clean electronic record, a buyer should physically inspect components susceptible to low-mileage, high-age wear. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for cracking or perished rubber, as these degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Examine the brake discs and calipers for surface pitting or binding, as the vehicle may have sat for long periods between tests. Additionally, verify the structural integrity for early-stage corrosion in the sills and arches, as the MOT only identifies rust once it reaches a significant threshold of decay.
