2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · BG18 AAO

This Ford Kuga presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 10 April 2026 at 63,335 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2023, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is typical for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,917 miles per year. Usage has remained steady, though there was a notable increase in activity between April 2025 and April 2026, where the odometer rose by 9,063 miles. Earlier intervals were lower, such as the 1,900 mile increase between April 2024 and April 2025. This shift in usage does not appear to have impacted the mechanical integrity of the car. The record shows a single failure on 29 March 2023 at 48,538 miles, which was resolved the following day. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for this failure or any subsequent tests, there are no recurring mechanical trends to flag. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc wear, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions over the last four years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. A physical inspection should focus on general consumables that MOT testers occasionally overlook or that do not trigger a failure. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads to ensure they have not reached their service limit since the April 2026 test. A visual check for underbody corrosion is advised, as the clean MOT history confirms structural integrity but does not account for cosmetic rust or surface oxidation.
