2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · SW61 AEM

The 2011 Ford Kuga with 99,228 miles demonstrates stable roadworthiness, as the most recent MOT on 2026-04-20 confirmed no defects at 99,228 miles. However, a prior failure on 2025-02-12 at the same mileage (93,150 miles) without recorded defects raises questions about the test’s accuracy or potential unresolved issues. The intervening 2025-02-13 test at 93,150 miles passed without issues, suggesting the vehicle likely met standards after remedial action. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring mechanical faults flagged in the record. The vehicle’s mileage of 99,228 miles over 15 years aligns with an average of 6,615 miles annually, indicating consistent usage rather than prolonged inactivity or excessive wear. Gaps between MOT tests are reasonable, with the longest interval spanning 22 months between 2022-11-02 (79,612 miles) and 2024-02-02 (87,042 miles). No rapid mileage spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity are evident, which reduces concerns about undetected component degradation. The record shows a clean history, with no advisories or critical failures reported. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, as 15-year-old vehicles often experience wear in bushes and coil springs. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny, as binding or uneven wear could develop over time. Structural corrosion, especially in underbody areas, should also be checked, given the car’s age. While the MOT record shows no immediate risks, these components are common failure points in older vehicles and require physical verification to confirm their condition.
