2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line X Edition HEV CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · AJ72 LHT

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-01-20 at 87,748 miles. The prior test in 2025-11-12 at 87,734 miles also showed no issues, confirming a consistent maintenance pattern. No advisories or failures suggest the owner has addressed critical systems promptly, though the absence of historical data prior to 2025 limits insight into long-term trends. The recorded mileage of 87,748 miles for a 2022 model equates to approximately 21,937 miles annually, exceeding average usage for its age. This rapid accumulation raises concerns about accelerated wear on components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The minimal 14-mile difference between the 2025-11-12 and 2026-01-20 tests implies infrequent use during that period, which may mask underlying issues or indicate periods of inactivity. The sparse MOT history offers limited opportunity to assess gradual degradation. A buyer should inspect the suspension for uneven wear or binding calipers, which could signal deteriorating components. Check brake discs for warping or excessive thinning, as high mileage often exacerbates such faults. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around the catalytic converter, and assess the vehicle’s structural integrity for rust, especially in areas prone to moisture. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the high mileage and limited history warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical soundness.
