2017 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · YR67 PFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a stable maintenance trend despite a minor setback in the most recent inspection. The September 2025 test at 94,318 miles initially resulted in a failure due to an incorrectly aimed offside headlamp and a slightly loose rear exhaust heat shield. Both issues were rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed the re-test just three miles later. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record for three consecutive years, suggesting a generally consistent standard of basic mechanical upkeep. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage patterns, moving from 55,419 miles in 2022 to 68,680 miles in 2023, and then to 82,170 miles by September 2024. This linear progression indicates the car has seen regular road use, which often helps prevent the internal corrosion and seal dry-related issues typically associated with long periods of stationary or extreme low mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust assembly to ensure the heat shield identified in September 2025 is securely fastened and does not rattle. Given the vehicle has approached the 100,000-mile mark, it is prudent to inspect the condition of suspension bushes and bushings for wear, as these are common points of failure at this interval. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or brake issues, a manual check for fluid leaks or brittle rubber components remains necessary to confirm that the owner's preventative maintenance has not been deferred.
