2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line X Ecoblue 4X4 A 2.0L Diesel · BW22 GJO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on August 2 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car passed the inspection despite two minor mechanical advisories regarding the offside front track rod end. The tester noted slight play in the ball joint and a deteriorated dust cover. While these issues did not result in an immediate failure, they indicate the beginning of wear in the steering geometry that will require future attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,860 miles per year. With only 23,438 miles recorded at the August 2025 test, the car has seen significantly less use than the average UK-registered vehicle. This low mileage suggests light mechanical stress but can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and seals due to stationary periods, which aligns with the reported damage to the track rod end dust cover. A buyer should personally inspect the offside front suspension to ensure the play in the track rod end has not progressed. The damaged dust cover needs replacing soon to prevent internal moisture and road grit from entering the joint, which would lead to rapid premature failure. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to check for signs of corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, as these often seize on vehicles that are not used frequently.
