2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · SL67 FFX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on 20 October 2025 at 100,867 miles. The maintenance history shows a stable trend in terms of long-term compliance, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both 2024 and 2025 the car failed the initial test but passed shortly thereafter, suggesting that identified defects were addressed proactively before the re-test. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per annum. A significant gap of 20,958 miles occurred between the February 2023 test at 68,913 miles and the October 2024 test at 89,871 miles, followed by roughly 11,000 miles in the subsequent year. This steady usage rate indicates regular road use which generally prevents the degradation of mechanical components associated with long periods of stationary vehicles. While the recent records show no recurring structural or persistent mechanical faults, the intermittent failures indicate the owner may only perform necessary repairs when prompted by the MOT tester. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show wear on Kugas reaching the 100,000-mile mark. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear and inspecting the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion is also advisable to ensure the clean MOT history reflects genuine mechanical health rather than just a lack of immediate failures.
