2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · SH13 TWN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 28 July 2025 at 108,308 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the owner has proactively addressed mechanical requirements to prevent MOT failures. At 108,308 miles over 13 years, the Kuga averages approximately 8,300 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,000 miles between July 2023 and 2024. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often lead to perished seals, seized brake calipers, or fluid degradation. While the recent history is clean, the failure recorded on 24 July 2023 at 94,184 miles indicates a specific mechanical issue required immediate rectification at that time. Although the subsequent tests showed no advisories, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the age and mileage, close attention should required to structural corrosion on the rear arches and sills, as these are common failure points for this model that may not always manifest until significant decay. The condition of the brake discs and hoses should also be verified to ensure no pitting or thinning has occurred despite the clean test record.
