FORD KUGA VIGNALE ECOBLUE 4X4 AUTO2021 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean result in its latest MOT inspection. The most recent test conducted on 26 March 2025 at 37,447 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a similarly clean pass in April 2024 at 31,345 miles, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of mechanical presentation over the last year. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the failure on 11 March 2024 and the subsequent pass on 22 April 2024, where the car covered only 160 miles in six weeks. This suggests a specific fault was identified and rectified quickly rather than a general trend of neglect. Since that recovery period, the vehicle has covered roughly 6,100 miles, which represents a reasonable rate of wear for the EcoBlue drivetrain and suspension components of a low-mileage SUV. While the recent history is clean, the failure in March 2024 at 31,184 miles warrants a physical check of the specific component that caused the rejection, as the record does not specify the defect. A buyer should verify that there are no signs of recurring issues on suspension bushes or brake calipers that might have been overlooked. Given the 4x4 configuration, an inspection of the transfer case and rear differential for any leaks is also advisable to ensure the low mileage has not masked issues arising from long periods of standing.
