2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · PX16 NBD

The 2016 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 9 June 2025 at 81,039 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing every annual test once minor administrative re-tests were resolved. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear across the five-year record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,100 miles, typical for a ten-year-old vehicle of this type. The records show 62,743 miles in June 2023, 72,412 miles by May 2024, and 81,039 miles by June 2025. That equates to about 9,700 and 8,600 miles in the respective intervals, a consistent and unremarkable accumulation. The DVSA data is clean throughout, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions ever logged. The June 2025 and June 2023 entries each show an initial failure at 81,037 and 62,741 miles followed by a same-day pass at two miles higher. The tester recorded no defects on either failure. This pattern points to documentation or procedural errors at the testing station rather than owner-neglected repairs. Previous keepers appear to have kept the Kuga to a standard that avoided flagged wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers given the age and the absence of recorded checks between tests. Verify the two same-day fail-pass pairs with the test centre to confirm no suppressed fault. Otherwise the official history supports a sound, lightly used example with no signal of hidden mechanical risk.
