2011 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · YT61 OKH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted on 24 July 2025 at 69,163 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred on 26 July 2024 at 67,833 miles, the vehicle was retested just three days later and passed, suggesting a minor issue was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. There is a visible gap in the data between August 2021, at 56,279 miles, and July 2023, during which the car covered 8,600 miles. Since then, the usage has remained consistent, with roughly 4,300 miles covered between the annual annual tests. This low annual mileage often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it also increases the risk of rubber components degrading or fluid breakdown due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most affected by low-usage age-related wear. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these can perish over time regardless of distance driven. Given the age of the vehicle, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seizing, as infrequently used brakes are prone to caliper binding. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis and underside for any signs of hidden rust, as the MOT record does not show any historical rust advisories that would suggest proactive maintenance.
