2010 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · RV60 LCX

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED MOT on 2023-01-03, indicating that the most recent test was conducted 3 years ago. This marks a clear trend of increasing maintenance frequency, as the vehicle has passed three separate MOTs from 2021 to 2023, suggesting a pattern of regular upkeep rather than a single incident. The recent test on 2023-01-03 was conducted at 69,585 miles, which is consistent with the vehicle's age and mileage profile. The mileage accumulation over the past three years has been relatively stable, averaging approximately 23,000 miles per year. While the vehicle has maintained a low mileage baseline, the gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests indicates that the owner has not skipped routine inspections, which is crucial for preserving drivetrain components. The recent test confirms that the vehicle's mechanical condition has remained sound despite the wear on the engine and power steering unit. To assess the current roadworthiness, the buyer should inspect the engine bay and power steering system for any signs of oil leaks or excessive seepage, as these components have been flagged in the recent MOT. Additionally, the buyer must verify the condition of the exhaust system and engine mounts, as the 2022 test noted an excessive engine oil leak. The steering rack gaiter and offside repeater lens are also critical components that must be checked for damage or missing parts. The overall mechanical condition appears to be stable, but the owner should conduct a thorough visual inspection of the engine and power steering unit to rule out any hidden wear before finalizing the purchase.
