2019 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · P333 ABH

A largely uneventful MOT history defines this Ford Kuga, characterised by an unbroken sequence of six consecutive passes without a single test failure since its first statutory inspection. The most recent test completed on the fifteenth of January 2026 resulted in a clean pass with zero recorded defects, reinforcing an overall trend of stable roadworthiness across its history. Aside from a minor wiper blade advisory in January 2025 and symmetrically worn front tyres noted in May 2023, the record is free from structural corrosion, mechanical degradation, or recurring component faults. Accumulating forty-one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five miles over approximately seven years yields an average of roughly six thousand miles annually, placing this Kuga well below the typical mileage bracket for a modern family SUV. This lighter-than-average usage pattern means the vehicle has spent less time subjected to high-speed motorway commuting or heavy urban stop-start traffic, though low annual mileage can occasionally hide the accelerated perishing of rubber components or encourage surface corrosion on underbody parts if the vehicle has experienced prolonged periods of inactivity between inspections. Given the past advisory concerning edge wear on both front tyres, a prospective buyer should closely inspect the tread depth and shoulder condition across the current front rubber, ensuring alignment geometry is within specification to prevent premature wear. During the static pre-drive check, thoroughly examine the braking system components and steering rack gaiters, listening carefully on the road test for any abnormal knocks, clunks, or excessive vibration from the front suspension MacPherson struts and anti-roll bar links when traversing potholes or speed humps. Finally, verify that all electrical features, including the windscreen wipers highlighted in previous test notes, operate smoothly and without hesitation. Pay close attention to clutch bite or automatic gearbox shift quality depending on the powertrain specification, ensuring the drivetrain engages cleanly without hesitation or judder under acceleration. A comprehensive physical inspection of the chassis underbody on a ramp will confirm whether the low-mileage profile has preserved the structural integrity without allowing premature surface oxidation to take hold.
