Our Verdict
This 2017 Ford Kuga diesel is a usable f
Given that this Kuga has averaged roughly 13,500 miles per year — almost 70% more than the typical Kuga on the road — you should expect significant wear on common service items. The MOT history shows advisory notes every single year, with tyre wear flagged in both 2024 and 2025, and brake pad/disc wear noted in 2023. When viewing, check the current tyre tread depths across all four corners and inspect the brake discs for lipping or scoring, as these will likely be the next items needing replacement.
It is also worth checking whether any timing belt or cam belt replacement has been carried out, as the 2.0 TDCi engine is due for this service at around 100,000 miles or five years, whichever comes first. With this vehicle at 120,299 miles, a replacement may already be overdue. Ask the seller for evidence of recent servicing and any invoices for major work, and consider a pre-purchase inspection from a specialist familiar with Ford diesels.
The 2.0-litre TDCi diesel Kuga typically returns 45-55 mpg in real-world driving, depending on whether it's the 150PS or 180PS variant. Annual road tax sits in a reasonable bracket for a diesel SUV of this age, though you should confirm the exact CO2 figure for this specific registration. Insurance is generally in groups 18-22 depending on spec, so budget accordingly for a family-sized SUV.
Estimated annual running costs are likely to be in the region of £1,400-£1,800, factoring in diesel fuel, road tax, insurance, and the higher-than-average maintenance this mileage implies. With consumable wear visible across the MOT history, expect tyre replacements every 18-24 months and brake work every 30,000-40,000 miles.
Based on the MOT advisory pattern, start with a close inspection of all four tyres — the 2024 test flagged rear tyres worn to 2.5mm and the 2025 test flagged both front tyres, suggesting this vehicle chews through tyres at a steady rate. Check the manufacturing date codes on any fitted tyres, as older tyres degrade even with legal tread. Inspect the front brake discs and pads directly, given the 2023 advisory that brake pads and discs were becoming worn and pitted — at 120,299 miles these will almost certainly need replacement soon.
General inspection points for the Kuga include checking for oil leaks from the 2.0 TDCi engine, particularly around the turbo and oil filter housing, and inspecting the dual-clutch automatic gearbox (if fitted) for jerky changes or shuddering. Diesel Kugas of this generation are also known for potential EGR valve and DPF issues, so confirm there are no warning lights on the dashboard and that the vehicle completes full regeneration cycles during a test drive. Finally, check the rear wiper operation and windscreen for stone chips, given the recurring wiper advisories in 2021.
This 2.0-litre diesel Ford Kuga, first registered in September 2017, has covered 120,299 miles across five recorded MOT tests, all of which resulted in passes. The annual mileage of around 13,500 miles is notably above the Ford Kuga model average of 7,932 miles per year. Advisories on every test for tyres, wiper blades and brake components indicate a vehicle that is being used heavily and will require ongoing consumable maintenance.
Across 261,692 Ford Kuga examples analysed, the average MOT pass rate is 84.0%, with the most common failure reasons being tyres, headlamps, and brake pads — exactly the items this particular vehicle has been advisory on.
