2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · AM59 DEM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on 18 March 2026 at 86,550 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate rectification following test failures. The failure on 11 March 2026 occurred just 38 miles prior to the pass and yielded no recorded defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor bulb issue that was addressed and cleared before the re-test. The mileage profile indicates high annual usage, averaging approximately 12,364 miles per year which sits above the national average for a seven-year-old vehicle. There is a significant burst of activity between March 2025 and March 2026, where the car covered 15,449 miles in just twelve months. In contrast, the period between January 2025 and March 2025 saw only 2,987 miles driven, suggesting a fluctuation in usage patterns. This high-mile environment typically places accelerated wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system hardware. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking assembly, given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle. While the recent records show no active defects, the consistent high mileage suggests that components like control arm bushes and shocks may be nearing their service life. Inspect the brake discs for thinness or uneven wear and check for binding calipers, as high-frequency use often leads to thermal heat buildup. Checking the chassis for early signs of corrosion is also necessary to ensure structural integrity remains sound despite the heavy miles cleared.
