2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · SC60 AEP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate over the last four years. The most recent test on 14 November 2025 at 139,741 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar pattern from the November 2024 and November 2023 tests, suggesting a vehicle that is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 9,316 miles per year. A notable jump occurred between November 2022 and November 2023, where the odometer rose from 120,616 to 130,305 miles. Since then, the annual increase has slowed to approximately 5,600 miles per year. The brief failure on 2 November 2023 was resolved within eleven days, indicating the owner addressed the issue promptly to secure the pass on 13 November 2023. Despite the clean MOT records, the absence of advisories on a fifteen year old vehicle with nearly 140,000 miles is unusual. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear that may not have reached a failure threshold but still requires attention. Given the age of this Ford Kuga, checking for corrosion on the chassis and sills is essential, as surface rust often precedes structural failure. The lack of recorded defects suggests a well-kept car, but it provides no data on service intervals or oil changes. Verify the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine and mileage. Focus the physical inspection on the drivetrain and steering rack to ensure no play has developed that the MOT tester overlooked.
