2009 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CK59 WKD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 3, 2026, 146,377 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. A failure just six days prior on May 29, 2026, revealed that both the offside front and offside rear tyres were below the legal tread limit. While the immediate defects were rectified, the recurring issues suggest the owner only addresses faults when forced by an MOT failure. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 146,377 miles represents an annual average of approximately 8,610 miles, which aligns with typical usage for an older SUV. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 9,400 miles covered between May 2025 and June 2026. This regularity indicates the vehicle is not sitting for long periods, which generally helps preserve rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment geometry. The May 2025 failure noted an offside front inner tyre worn on the edge, which frequently points to incorrect camber, worn control arm bushings, or failing ball joints. The previous structural failure of a nearside front tyre in that same period indicates a history of impact damage or poor heat management. Given the age and mileage of this Kuga, a thorough check for corrosion on the subframe and brake lines is essential to ensure structural integrity has not compromised over time.
