2018 FORD KUGA1.5L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on June 28, 2025. The maintenance trend appears highly stable, as the car has maintained a clean record with no recorded defects over several years. While a failure entry is noted on the same date as the most recent pass, no specific defects were associated with it, suggesting a minor issue that was rectified immediately prior to the successful re-test. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,314 miles per year. The data shows consistent and gradual accumulation of mileage, moving from 18,573 miles in 2022 to 42,510 miles in 2025. This low usage suggests the car was likely used for short trips or remained stationary for extended periods, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components but can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals and fluid quality compared to high-mileage highway driving. Because the MOT history is devoid of structural rust or mechanical failures, a buyer should focus on components typically affected by low-mileage use. It is advisable to inspect rubber-based parts such as suspension bushes, control arm joints, and tyre sidewalls which may become perished or cracked over time irrespective of distance traveled. Additionally, the brakes should be checked for corrosion or pitting on the discs, as vehicles driven infrequently often suffer from surface rust or seized calipers.
