2019 FORD KUGA1.5L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection data indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance patterns. While the car passed its February 2026 test at 18,838 miles, it suffered a failure just three miles prior due to critical brake wear and lighting issues. This transition from three consecutive years of clean records to a multi-point failure suggests that the current owner may only be addressing mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2025, the car covered only 6,957 miles, suggesting very infrequent use. However, the jump of 4,782 miles between February 2025 and February 2026 shows a recent increase in usage compared to previous years. Such low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and flat-spotting of tyres, as parts age through time despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must physically inspect the front braking system, as the February 2026 failure noted pads thinner than 1.5mm. The tester also flagged uneven wear on both the nearside and offside front tyres, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes requiring attention. The frayed webbing on the offside front seat belt is a recurring safety concern that requires replacement to ensure it functions correctly in an impact. You should also verify that the headlamp aim has been corrected following the failure to ensure adequate visibility without dazzling other drivers. The overall structural integrity of the vehicle appears sound based on the lack of historical corrosion advisories.
