FORD KUGA2018 · 1.5L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 09 May 2025 at 31,509 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of failure exactly one day prior to the pass in both 2024 and 2025. This suggests that minor defects were identified and rectified immediately before the official inspection, indicating a reactive approach to repairs rather than a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2018 registration, averaging approximately 3,939 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 24,117 miles and the April 2024 test at 27,106 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,989 miles in major months. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, such low-use patterns can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, dry seals, or corrosion on brake discs due to lack of active cleaning. Because the vehicle failed two consecutive tests without specific defects listed in the digital history, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the areas most likely to cause immediate failures, specifically tyre tread depth, light functionality, and windscreen wipers. Given the low mileage, the inspector should specifically check for pitting on the brake rotors and seized calipers resulting from infrequent use. Additionally, the structural integrity of the underbody should be verified to ensure that the low mileage has not masked environmental corrosion from long periods of stationary storage.
