2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CT19 PBU

The 2019 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy following a pass on 1 August 2025 at 70,670 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The vehicle cleared every test that counted, though the August 2025 pass came one day after a failure on 31 July 2025 at identical mileage with no defects logged. A similar pattern occurred in July 2023, when the car failed on 20 July at 50,882 miles and passed four days later at 50,884 miles, again with no defects recorded. These paired fail-pass entries with zero advisories suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,100 miles, in line with typical use for a seven-year-old vehicle. The records show 50,884 miles in July 2023, 60,058 miles in July 2024, and 70,670 miles in July-August 2025, giving a steady ~9,600 to 10,600 miles per year. No abrupt accumulation or prolonged standing is evident. The clean defect columns across all five entries indicate the previous keeper kept the Kuga to a standard that satisfied testers without flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension, or structure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The MOT data carries no advisories on coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion, so the absence of flags offers no assurance those components are sound beyond the test day. The two fail-then-pass sequences at matching mileages warrant a check of the V5C and test centre notes to confirm no suppressed defects. Given the sparse but clean record, focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity, exhaust emissions under load, and binding calipers or worn bushes that a visual test might miss. The Kuga's age makes perished rubber components and surface corrosion plausible even without historical warnings.
