2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · WT17 ABO

The 2017 Ford Kuga holds a roadworthy status as of the latest DVSA examination on 13 November 2025 at 94,618 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the five available tests is stable, showing annual or near-annual compliance aside from a curious failure on 5 November 2024 at 80,361 miles that also logged no defects. That reversal eight days later with a clean pass suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than mechanical deterioration. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical private use for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging about 10,500 miles per year. The record opens with a pass at 68,704 miles on 22 November 2022, then rises to 76,504 miles by 19 December 2023, a 7,800-mile gain over thirteen months. A shorter interval to 13 November 2024 shows 80,380 miles, after which the failed and passed tests sit only 19 miles apart. The dataset is sparse but notably free of advisories on tyres, wipers, suspension bushes, or emissions. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural and mechanical components prone to age-related wear on this model. Examine front suspension arms and rear coil springs for fracture or bush degradation, probe brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and assess underbody and sills for corrosion. The clean MOT ledger implies previous owners met minimum statutory standards, yet the unexplained 2024 failure warrants verification of the test documentation to rule out a masked defect.
