2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CT19 HWV

The 2019 Ford Kuga has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across the last five annual tests, culminating in a clean pass on 12 May 2025 at 57,227 miles. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any recurring mechanical or structural issues during the most recent testing periods. The absence of advisories or major failures indicates that, at least in terms of MOT compliance, the car has been well-maintained. However, the most recent test occurred just over two years ago, which is beyond the standard 12-month interval, raising questions about whether the vehicle has been driven regularly or if the owner has deferred the next MOT. The mileage progression of approximately 8,175 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests is notable. The recorded mileage increased steadily by around 7,885 miles between each test (from 32,136 to 40,734, then 49,342, and finally 57,227), suggesting consistent use without prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern itself, but the extended period since the last MOT—nearly two years—means some components may have accumulated additional wear beyond what was last assessed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these are not always visible in a basic MOT test. The lack of recorded defects does not preclude gradual degradation in these areas, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Additionally, the brakes—though never failed—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as repeated stress could lead to hidden issues. Corrosion in wheel arches, sills, and underbody areas should also be examined, as this is a common concern for vehicles of this age and mileage, even if not always flagged in an MOT. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be inspected for leaks or excessive noise, as these can develop between tests.
