2017 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · VR66 STE

The most recent MOT on 10 April 2025 at 56,462 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend is stable. No deterioration or recurring failures appear in the record, indicating consistent compliance with legal standards over the last five years. Mileage has risen from 26,382 miles in April 2021 to 56,462 miles in April 2025, an increase of roughly 30,000 miles across four years. Averaging about 7,500 miles per annum during that period, the usage aligns with typical private‑owner patterns for a 2017 model. Earlier tests show a slower accumulation, with 35,088 miles in April 2023 and 39,063 miles in April 2024, suggesting a modest uptick in recent use but no abrupt spikes or unexplained gaps. A prospective buyer should examine consumable wear items that naturally age despite the clean MOT history. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition for uneven wear that could hint at misalignment. Check brake discs and pads for thickness and any scoring, as the record contains no brake advisories but wear may have progressed since the last test. Verify suspension components—bushes, coil springs, and mounting points—for signs of looseness or corrosion, especially on front lower arms where binding can develop unnoticed. Look for rust on structural panels, exhaust system integrity, and any fluid leaks around the engine and gearbox. A thorough visual and functional assessment of these areas will confirm whether the vehicle’s underlying condition matches the spotless MOT record.
