2019 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · BD69 AEC

The vehicle maintains a clean and stable roadworthiness record, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 September 2025 at 38,867 miles without any recorded defects or advisories. The single failure recorded on 23 September 2025 appears to be an administrative or testing anomaly rather than a mechanical issue, as the vehicle passed the following day with identical mileage and no faults. This consistent history suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to diligent maintenance and has not suffered from chronic component failure or recurring structural degradation. The annual mileage accumulation is low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,552 miles per year. The progression of mileage is steady and logical, moving from 23,272 miles in September 2022 to the current 38,867 miles. There are no concerning gaps in the testing history that would indicate prolonged periods of inactivity or storage, which can often lead to issues such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber seals, or flat-spotted tyres. The consistent usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for short to medium journeys rather than being left to sit for extended durations. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on consumable components that are often overlooked during the MOT process. While the testing history is clean, check the condition of the brake discs and pads for signs of surface corrosion or uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes develop binding brakes if they are not driven frequently enough to clear oxidation. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of premature aging or perishing, as these rubber components can degrade over time regardless of the total distance covered. Confirm that the tyres show even tread wear across the axle, as this will verify that the suspension geometry remains within the manufacturer’s specifications.
