2021 Ford Kuga Zetec Ecoblue 1.5L Diesel · YP71 AAY

The Ford Kuga presented a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent examination. The September 2024 MOT test at 73,062 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend shows a stable, unblemished record with no advisories or failures logged across the supplied history. The vehicle has covered 73,062 miles by September 2024, equating to roughly 14,600 miles per year since its 2021 registration. That annual accumulation sits above the UK average for a private car of this age and points to sustained motorway or commuter use rather than light local running. The record supplies only a single test entry, so we cannot chart gradual wear, but the absence of any earlier failures or advisories at this mileage suggests the previous keeper kept the drivetrain and consumables within test limits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The clean September 2024 sheet means the tester found no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake discs at 73,062 miles, yet high annual mileage loads these components heavily between tests. Examine the front coil springs, rear trailing arm bushes, and brake calipers for binding or fatigue that a pass certificate will not reveal twelve months on. Check the tyre tread depths and exhaust emissions in person, as both fall outside the test window now. The sparse record gives no recurring fault pattern to chase, but the Kuga's mileage demands verification of cambelt interval compliance and gearbox oil condition that the MOT does not assess.
