2019 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · BD69 UJS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 September 2025 at 29,512 miles, with no failures—only two minor advisories for nails in tyres and an undertray fitted. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no new critical faults emerging since the previous test, and the absence of brake wear advisories since 2023 suggests the braking system has been maintained or replaced. The recorded mileage of 29,512 over seven years equates to an average of 4,216 miles annually, which is low for a vehicle of this age and suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows a jump of 6,140 miles, while the subsequent increases to 20,591 in 2024 and 29,512 in 2025 indicate more consistent usage over the last two years. This pattern implies the car may have been stored or driven sparingly early in its life, potentially affecting fluid condition, rubber components, and battery health. Buyers should inspect the condition of the tyres closely, as nails in the same positions—nearside front and offside rear—have appeared in three consecutive tests, indicating possible recurring damage from poor road conditions or inadequate wheel alignment. The brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in both front positions in 2023; while not repeated since, the front brake discs should be checked for wear or scoring, especially given the low annual mileage, which can cause corrosion on infrequently used components. The undertray has been fitted in two of the last three tests, suggesting possible underbody damage or corrosion, so a thorough inspection of the chassis, suspension mounts, and exhaust system for rust or structural compromise is essential. Fluids, hoses, and battery condition should also be verified, as prolonged standing can degrade these even with low mileage.
