2020 Ford Kuga ST-Line First Edition 1.5L Petrol · BD70 KHM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a currently improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 October 2025 at 54,962 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that any previous concerns identified in earlier years have been addressed or have not progressed into failures. The car currently meets all safety and environmental standards without recorded defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,160 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 22,025 miles and the October 2024 test at 38,315 miles, the car covered 16,290 miles, followed by an additional 16,647 miles in the final year. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components and seals compared to a car undergoing long periods of standing. A buyer should pay specific attention to the rear shock absorbers. The October 2024 test flagged light misting of oil on both the nearside and offside rear units. While the 2025 test showed no further defects, misting often precedes the total seal failure that leads to a leak. A physical inspection should check for any increased fluid leakage or damping issues to ensure these components are not nearing the end of their operational life. Beyond the suspension observation, the record is remarkably clean with no history of structural corrosion or recurring brake issues. The lack of advisories in the most recent tests suggests the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a high standard. The buyer should still verify the condition of the tyres and brake pads to ensure they align with the recorded mileage and the interval between MOT tests.
