2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · RC66 ERC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 30 March 2026 recorded a pass at 42 773 miles with no defects noted. The maintenance trend is stable to improving – a single failure on 6 May 2025 at 35 434 miles showed no recorded defects, yet the following day the test passed at 35 435 miles, indicating the issue was resolved or was a procedural anomaly. Prior entries from August 2022 through September 2024 all passed without faults, confirming a generally consistent service record. Mileage accumulation has been low for a ten‑year‑old model, averaging around 4 300 miles per year until mid‑2024. Between September 2024 (35 118 miles) and May 2025 (35 434 miles) the increase was modest at 316 miles over roughly eight months. The data then shows a sharp rise of 7 338 miles between 7 May 2025 (35 435 miles) and 30 March 2026 (42 773 miles), suggesting a period of heavier use or a possible mileage correction. The record is otherwise clean, with no gaps larger than a few months. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, examine the brake calipers, discs and pads for binding or uneven wear, and check tyre tread depth and wear patterns for irregular wear. The underbody and exhaust should be examined for corrosion or rust, and the structural integrity of the chassis inspected for any signs of damage, especially given the recent high mileage jump. A thorough visual check of consumables such as wiper blades and fluid levels is also advisable, together with verification of any service history that may explain the mileage surge.
