2016 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · AG59 ACG

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 58,594 miles resulted in no recorded defects, maintaining a stable trend over the last five years. This consistency suggests a proactive maintenance regime where the previous owners have likely addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could trigger a failure during the annual inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,859 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the car covered 21,768 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage pattern rather than long periods of abandonment. The intervals between tests, ranging from roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles per year, indicate regular driving habits. Such low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to dry rot in rubber seals or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary. While the MOT record shows no historical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. The buyer should check for signs of cracking in suspension bushes or perished tyre sidewalls which occur due to age regardless of distance travelled. Given the vehicle's age, the tester should also inspect brake discs for surface pitting or binding calipers, which often manifest when cars are used infrequently. Checking the structural integrity of the underbody for surface corrosion remains essential to ensure that the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental damage to the chassis.
