2016 FORD KUGA1.5L PETROL

The vehicle's current roadworthiness stands at no good , as the 2026-05-23 MOT indicates a failure of the offside stop lamp and nearside windscreen washer, both of which are critical components for visibility and safety. This latest test, taken on 75,713 miles, confirms the vehicle has not passed the safety assessment, meaning the driver must be aware of the risks associated with these specific faults. The maintenance history shows a significant gap between the 2025-05-15 and 2024-05-21 tests, with the 2026-05-23 failure occurring shortly after the 2024-05-21 pass, suggesting the vehicle may have been driven or stored in a way that exposed these components during the 18-month interval. Regarding mileage and age, the vehicle is approximately 10 years old with 75,713 miles, which places it in a typical age range where wear on suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components is expected. However, the mileage gap between the 2025-05-15 and 2024-05-21 tests indicates rapid accumulation of wear, particularly on the front and rear brakes and front/rear tyres. While the 2026-05-23 test passed the initial inspection, the persistent presence of faults such as thin brake pads and cracked tyres suggests that basic upkeep has been neglected over the past two years, potentially leading to premature failure of critical safety systems. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear by visiting the shop to examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers. The history of failing the 2026-05-23 test on the offside stop lamp and nearside windscreen washer strongly implies that the suspension and wheel alignment may be compromised, requiring professional assessment to determine if the vehicle is safe to drive or if it requires immediate repair to prevent a collision.
