2020 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Eblue Mhev 2.0L Diesel · BJ07 SDJ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a maintenance trend that appears stable despite instances of consumable neglect. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 36,773 miles identified only a single defective nearside windscreen wiper blade. This represents a significant improvement over the previous year, where multiple tyre-related issues were flagged, suggesting that the owner addressed the necessary wear items following the 2024 inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 20,678 miles and the December 2024 test at 28,225 miles, the vehicle covered 7,547 miles, showing steady usage. This low annual mileage generally implies less strain on the mild hybrid drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to dry seals if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the vehicle's alignment and tyre condition. The December 2024 advisory noted three tyres worn close to the legal limit and specifically on the edge, which often indicates a tracking alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. While the 2025 test did not repeat these faults, a check of the current tyre wear patterns is necessary to ensure that the uneven wear has not returned. No structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures have been recorded in the history, suggesting the core integrity of the chassis remains sound.
