2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · NU18 ABX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on March 25, 2026, at 62,878 miles. The maintenance trend indicates a stable profile, as the car has consistently passed its annual inspections after immediate repairs. While the record shows failures on the same day as the tests twice, the subsequent passes suggest that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified defects to ensure the vehicle met minimum safety and emissions standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,860 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 48,486 miles and the March 2025 test at 55,394 miles, the car covered 6,908 miles, followed by another 7,484 miles leading up to the most recent test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use which often reduces the risk of seal failure or suspension seizing associated with stagnant low-mileage vehicles. Because the MOT history shows no recorded advisories or recurring mechanical faults, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common Kuga wear points. Focus on the condition of the front suspension bushes and coil springs, which can show signs of fatigue regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or heavy corrosion, and check the underside for any signs of structural corrosion that the standard MOT test may not have yet flagged.
