2017 FORD KUGA1.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents a consistent inspection history, though the most recent test indicates a shift toward requiring maintenance on specific components. In the November 2025 test at 74,454 miles, the car passed but received advisories for brake discs on both sides and under trays obscuring the view. This suggests that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, the braking system is nearing the end of its optimal life and requires attention soon. This contrasts with the previous three years of testing where the vehicle passed with no recorded defects. The mileage progression is relatively steady for a 2017 registration, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per annum. Between the 2021 test at 31,563 miles and the 2025 test at 74,454 miles, the vehicle has covered roughly 43,000 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this model. However, the recent wear on consumables is evident; in October 2024 at 64,612 miles, both both the nearside and offside rear tyres were worn to the legal limit. This indicates that while the car is driven regularly, the intervals between replacing items like tyres and brake components are currently being reached. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the underbody and trays, as noted in the most recent report, to ensure there is no significant structural corrosion that was previously hidden. Given the adviseories on the discs, a cost estimate for a brake overhaul should be factored into the purchase price. Beyond these visible wear items, the lack of major failures over the last four years suggests the vehicle has generally heavily maintained to a functional standard despite the current need for Routine parts replacement.
