2014 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · ST62 ADE

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend and remains roadworthy. The most recent MOT test on 7 July 2025 at 72,389 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This mirrors the outcomes of the four previous annual inspections, indicating a consistent level of mechanical integrity. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a twelve year old vehicle. Between the June 2021 test at 52,821 miles and the July 2025 test at 72,389 miles, the car covered 19,568 miles over four years. This averages roughly 4,900 miles per year during this period, suggesting the car has not suffered from the degradation associated with excessive idling or long periods of standing. The absence of any advisories across five consecutive years is rare for a vehicle of this age. There are no recorded failures or recurring warnings regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The record implies a high standard of preventative maintenance by the previous owners, as even common consumable wear like tyre tread or wiper blades failed to trigger a tester's note. A physical inspection should still focus on areas the MOT does not exhaustively cover. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the auxiliary belts. While the structural integrity appears sound based on the clean MOT history, a manual check for underbody corrosion remains prudent given the vehicle's age.
