2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · WD66 VBO

This 2017 Ford Kuga has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, the most recent of which occurred just 11 months ago on 23 September 2025. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues requiring attention during the standard MOT inspection cycle. While this indicates a stable roadworthiness record, the lack of any recorded faults does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly for components not routinely covered by the MOT—such as suspension alignment, drivetrain fluid condition, or subtle signs of corrosion. The recorded mileage of 102,956 miles aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 11,440 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, with the most recent interval spanning approximately 11,000 miles since the 2025 test. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of neglect, which could otherwise accelerate wear on critical components like suspension bushes or brake calipers. However, the uniformity of the mileage does not provide insight into maintenance habits beyond the MOT cycle, such as whether fluids have been changed on schedule or whether minor wear items like wiper blades or brake pads have been proactively replaced. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of uneven wear or corrosion—common issues in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, particularly the rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or excessive wear, as these are often overlooked until they fail an MOT. Additionally, the underbody should be examined for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time. While the MOT history is reassuring, these areas are not always thoroughly assessed during a standard test, and early detection of wear can prevent more costly repairs later.
