2018 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · P111 ACD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on April 29, 2026, at 51,661 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a failure just one day prior to that pass for a non-functional horn indicates a lack of pre-test inspection. Aside from this minor electrical fault, the vehicle has maintained a clean record recently, suggesting that mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 51,661 miles averages to approximately 6,458 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage patterns. The data shows consistent use with regular intervals of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles between annual tests from 2021 through 2026. This steady progression suggests the vehicle has not suffered excessive strain on the drivetrain or suspension, though low annual mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components if the car sits for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and rubber components. The May 2025 test at 47,549 miles flagged both nearside and offside front brake pads as wearing thin, so a buyer must verify the current pad thickness and ensure rotors were replaced. Additionally, the 2022 advisory at 26,160 miles noted sidewall perishing and edge wear on the rear tyres. Given the age of the vehicle, the tyres should be checked for dry rot in the sidewalls regardless of tread depth, and the windscreen chip mentioned in 2025 should be monitored to ensure it has not propagated into a structural crack.
