2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · AY68 AFN

The 2025‑12‑30 MOT record shows a failure for the 2019 Ford Kuga at 159,070 miles, meaning the vehicle did not meet the required standard on that date. Earlier passes in 2024 and 2023 indicate a previously stable maintenance record, but the recent failure signals a regression that must be addressed before the car can be considered roadworthy. The mileage has risen from 83,872 miles in January 2022 to 159,070 miles by December 2025, a gain of 75,198 miles over just over three years, equating to roughly 25,000 miles per year. The progression is steady with no major gaps, suggesting consistent use and high annual mileage for the vehicle’s age. Recurring lamp defects – a non‑functional rear registration plate lamp on 2025‑12‑30, an offside front position lamp failure on 2024‑03‑19, and a low‑aim near‑side headlamp on 2022‑01‑04 – point to possible wiring or lamp mounting issues that should be examined closely during a physical inspection. Given the high annual mileage, a buyer should also inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, and check for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis, as these components are likely to have suffered accelerated deterioration.
