2016 FORD KUGA1.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 24,898 miles confirms this vehicle currently meets the UK roadworthiness standard, displaying a stable and largely improving maintenance trend. The tester flagged a minor windscreen washer fluid deficiency during the initial inspection on that date, which was promptly rectified for the pass. Earlier advisories regarding tyre perishing and brake disc wear in 2022 and 2023 have not recurred, suggesting these consumable items were replaced. The record demonstrates a consistent pattern of addressing wear-and-tear items before they escalate into serious defects. Accumulating only 24,898 miles over a decade equates to roughly 2,490 miles annually, marking exceptionally light usage. The mileage progression shows steady increments: 21,921 miles in November 2022, 23,046 miles in December 2023, 23,824 miles in November 2024, and 24,898 miles in November 2025. This gradual accumulation indicates the vehicle was driven sparingly but regularly, avoiding prolonged periods of total dormancy. Low mileage limits drivetrain and braking component wear, though extended sitting can degrade rubber seals and tyres. Inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes for corrosion. The 2022 test noted pitted and scored rear brake discs, a condition often exacerbated by vehicles standing idle for long periods. Low-mileage vehicles sometimes suffer from degraded underseal, making a thorough underside inspection essential. The 2023 advisories regarding perishing rear tyres also warrant a close examination of the current tyre date codes and sidewall condition, ensuring dry rot has not taken hold due to prolonged stationary periods.
