2020 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · BP69 XAW

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive reactive upkeep. The most recent test in September 2025 at 35,196 miles passed despite several minor compliance issues, including a nail in the offside rear tyre and obstructions to the inspection caused by a child seat. While the vehicle is legally compliant, the transition from clean reports in previous years to recorded faults suggests that preventative checks are only being performed ahead of MOT testing. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,866 miles per year. Data from the December 2022 test at 14,432 miles to the November 2023 test at 21,152 miles shows a steady pattern of use. However, the gap of 8,444 miles recorded between September 2024 and September 2025 resulted in an offside front tyre being worn to the legal limit, indicating that while the total mileage is low, specific consumable components may have been neglected between service intervals. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres and wheel alignment, as the 2024 failure for uneven tyre wear often indicates geometry issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to check for brake disc surface corrosion and seized caliper pins, which frequently occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. The lack of structural advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains sound, but the recurring minor faults necessitate a thorough check of all rubber components and fluid levels.
