This Ford Kuga presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 6 October 2025 at 82,759 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a five-year trend of first-time passes without a single recorded failure or advisory, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. Between 27 October 2021 at 37,801 miles and 6 October 2025 at 82,759 miles, the car covered 44,958 miles. This averages to roughly 11,200 miles per year over the last four years, which is a slight increase from the overall lifetime average of 9,195 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. Because the MOT history is devoid of recurring faults, there are no specific mechanical red flags such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks to highlight. The absence of advisories over five years is rare and suggests a proactive approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owners. A physical inspection should still focus on standard wear items that MOT testers may overlook if they meet the minimum legal threshold. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these consumables will have worn naturally over the 44,000 miles covered since 2021. Inspect the chassis and wheel arches for any surface corrosion, though the clean test records suggest the structural integrity remains sound.
