2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · SL17 LLD

The 2017 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 74,645 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Every annual examination from 2022 through 2025 has passed cleanly, showing no advisories or mechanical faults carried forward. The vehicle has avoided the recurring suspension, braking, or corrosion issues that commonly affect Kugas of this era. Annual mileage averages around 8,294 miles, typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show steady, linear accumulation: 48,984 miles in February 2022, rising to 56,431 by February 2023, 65,450 by February 2024, and 73,390 by February 2025. A gap then appears before the June 2025 test at 74,645 miles, adding only 1,255 miles over four months. This suggests reduced use or a period of standing in early 2025, though no test failures interrupt the sequence. The clean MOT history gives no flagged faults to direct a buyer toward specific repairs. Absence of advisories on brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity across five tests implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current. A Kuga with no recorded corrosion or worn suspension bushes is unusual and worth verifying in person. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and rear suspension mounts, as DVSA testers may miss early surface rust on a brief lift. Check tyre sidewall dates and brake caliper freedom given the low recent mileage, since standing can seize bindings. The drivetrain shows no fault record, but a road test remains prudent before purchase.
