2016 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · SA16 TFC

The 2016 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 59,490 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories, showing the vehicle has avoided recurring mechanical or structural faults across its recorded history. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The Kuga covered just 28,998 miles by 25 October 2021, then 35,325 by 4 November 2022, 42,222 by 10 November 2023, 51,141 by 15 November 2024, and 59,490 by 30 October 2025. That averages under 6,000 miles per year. The clean record with no gaps between tests suggests consistent annual servicing and no prolonged periods off the road requiring late re-testing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage may mask age-related perishing rather than wear-related fatigue. Standing time can allow corrosion to develop on structural members and underbody components even when the MOT shows no defects. No advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers appear in the history, so previous owners kept consumables within limits. The absence of flagged faults implies disciplined upkeep, though a pre-purchase check of fluid condition and intermittent electrical items remains sensible on any low-mileage Ford of this era.
