2013 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · SY13 KWV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 21 March 2026 at 105,705 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same day, the immediate pass with no recorded defects suggests that any identified issues were rectified straight away. The overall maintenance trend appears stable over the last three years, as the vehicle has consistently met testing standards without recurring mechanical failures or structural advisories appearing in the digital history. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 15,000 miles between July 2022 at 84,629 miles and July 2023 at 99,628 miles, followed by roughly 6,000 miles covered between the July 2023 and the March 2026 tests. This suggests regular, consistent use rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the various rubber components and brake seals by preventing age-related seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and braking components, as the MOT record does not detail the specific reasons for the failures in 2023 and 2026. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, it is vital to check for perished rubber control arm bushes and potential corrosion on the coil springs or subframe mounting. Also examine the brake discs for uneven wear and the calipers to ensure that the recent passes were not merely masking deeper underlying mechanical issues that require imminent attention.
