2019 FORD KUGA1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record in its most recent inspection. The March 2026 test at 31,086 miles showed no defects, indicating that previous issues have been addressed and the vehicle remains in a consistent state of roadworthiness. The absence of advisories in the last two years suggests a consistent approach to preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,441 miles per year. The data shows a steady, linear progression from 12,027 miles in March 2022 to 31,086 miles in March 2026. This low-use pattern suggests the vehicle has likely seen primarily short-distance or seasonal use rather than heavy motorway commuting. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to neglected service intervals for fluids or battery health. The only recorded fault in the history occurred during the March 2024 test at 21,490 miles, when the tester flagged thin front brake pads. This was a standard consumable wear issue and does not appear to be a recurring fault, as the subsequent 2025 and 2026 tests returned no brake-related advisories. This indicates the brake system was serviced and the components replaced effectively. A prospective buyer should focus on verifying the service history to ensure oil changes have occurred despite the low mileage. Given the low annual usage, I recommend inspecting the tyres for age-related perishing or flat-spotting, and checking the battery condition. A physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advised to ensure that long periods of standing have not caused any degradation to the rubber components.
