Our Verdict
This is a strong prospect due to its low-average mileage and a generally very clean MOT record. While it suffered a recent failure, the immediate pass suggests the issue was rectified quickly by the owner.
When inspecting this Kuga, verify the service history to ensure oil changes have been consistent with the 70,000-mile mark. Given it is a diesel engine, check if the car has been used for motorway miles to prevent Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) issues, despite the low mileage. The failure in December 2025 at 70,641 miles should be queried; ask the owner exactly what caused the failure to ensure it wasn't a recurring mechanical fault.
Check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are common failure points for the Kuga model across the UK. Since the vehicle is a 2017 model, also inspect for signs of wear on the suspension components, which can begin to show as vehicles approach their eighth year, regardless of mileage.
The 1.5L diesel engine is relatively fuel-efficient, making it economical for high mileage compared to petrol equivalents. You should expect a moderate tax band based on the registration year, and insurance typically falls into a mid-range group for this model.
Maintenance costs for Ford vehicles are generally straightforward, though buyers should budget for routine items like filters and brakes. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, typically fall between £1,200 and £1,600.
Pay close attention to the records surrounding the December 2025 MOT. Although the vehicle passed just three days after a failure at 70,641 miles, you should confirm the specific component that required repair to ensure it was a minor item like a light bulb or a sensor.
Beyond the MOT history, inspect the clutch for any slipping, as this is a known point of interest on manual diesel Ford Kugas of this era. Check for uneven tyre wear, as the aggregate data for this model indicates that tyres are a primary reasons for MOT failures for the Kuga in the national database.
This 2017 Ford Kuga has covered 70,663 miles, which is significantly lower than the fleet average of approximately 87,000 miles for a vehicle of this age. Its history shows four consecutive passes since 2022, with only one failure recorded in late 2025. The 1.5L diesel engine is a common choice for this model, offering efficiency for longer-distance driving.
The Ford Kuga with the 1.5L diesel engine is generally considered reliable, though it requires regular long-distance runs to maintain the exhaust system.
