2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CK69 PYW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 53,765 miles passed, it revealed advisories for both front tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This suggests a pattern where components are only addressed once they approach failure thresholds, rather than being replaced as part of a routine preventative service schedule. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 53,765 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,680 miles, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage patterns. The data shows consistent use between tests, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the November 2024 and December 2025 MOTs. However, the failure in November 2022 at 29,514 miles due to thin brake pads and a split CV boot highlights a period where basic mechanical wear items and rubber components were neglected until they failed the annual inspection. A prospective buyer must pay close attention to the braking system. The record shows a persistent issue with pitting and corrosion on the rear brake discs, noted in December 2023 at 36,438 miles and again in November 2024 at 42,801 miles. Because the previous owner opted to replace pads without the scored discs, the metal surfaces are likely degraded, which can affect braking efficiency and cause noise. A physical inspection should verify if these discs have since been replaced or if they remain attention. The front suspension and drivetrain also merit scrutiny. Given the split nearside front CV boot recorded in 2022 and the uneven edge wear on the front tyres in the most recent test, the buyer should check for grease leakage around the drives shafts and inspect the steering geometry. Uneven tyre wear often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which will accelerate the degradation of new tyres if not corrected.
