FORD KUGA2018 · 1.5L Diesel

The 2018 Ford Kuga presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 November 2025 at 40,642 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Across every annual examination from 2021 to 2025 the vehicle passed with no advisories or faults raised, indicating consistent mechanical condition over the period reviewed. The recorded mileage shows light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The Kuga covered 21,060 miles by 9 November 2021, then 28,969 miles on 14 November 2022, 32,738 miles on 11 November 2023, 36,447 miles on 16 November 2024, and 40,642 miles on 22 November 2025. That equates to roughly 5,080 miles per year with no sudden accumulation or standing gaps between tests. The DVSA data is sparse in faults but clean, showing no consumable neglect or structural concerns logged by testers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the low annual mileage may mask perished rubber or corrosion from prolonged damp standing. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from age-related wear on exhaust emissions components and underbody structural integrity. Given the unbroken pass record, previous owners appear to have maintained the Kuga to minimum statutory standard with no deferred repairs. Physical checks of tyre sidewalls, wiper blades and hidden chassis rust remain sensible before purchase.
