2018 FORD KUGA2.0L Diesel

The 2018 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 78,623 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Across five consecutive annual examinations from March 2021 through August 2025, the vehicle passed every time with zero advisories or failures logged. This clean sweep indicates the previous keeper addressed required items before each test and kept the car to a standard that satisfied DVSA inspectors without escalation of faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,828 miles, typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows steady accumulation: 52,314 miles in March 2021, rising to 57,471 by March 2022, 63,315 in March 2023, 68,095 in March 2024, then 78,623 by August 2025. The jump between March 2024 and August 2025 covers 10,528 miles in seventeen months, a slight lift over prior twelve-month spans but not abnormal. No standing periods or sudden gaps appear; the owner maintained a consistent use pattern with no skipped test windows. Given the absence of any flagged wear across suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, or structural corrosion, the MOT history alone reveals no recurring mechanical risks. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and subframe condition, as eight-year-old Ford SUVs can develop concealed rust not caught in a clean test lane. Verify the timing belt interval and drivetrain health, since the record does not confirm internal servicing. Check tyre sidewall dates and brake pad thickness in person despite no advisories, as consumable margins close between tests. The clean record implies disciplined upkeep, yet a pre-purchase mechanical appraisal remains prudent on any used Kuga of this age and mileage.
