2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · CV68 PXH

The 2018 Ford Kuga presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 27,796 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes since the earliest available entry. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has not required corrective work at any annual examination. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show 19,700 miles at the September 2021 test, rising to 22,051 by February 2023, 24,023 in February 2024, 25,941 in February 2025, and 27,796 in February 2026. That equates to roughly 2,000 to 2,900 miles added each year, with an average of about 3,474 miles annually against the vehicle's age. The gap between the 2021 and 2023 entries leaves a 17-month window undocumented, but the steady climb in subsequent yearly tests shows consistent low-use ownership rather than intermittent heavy driving. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection despite the spotless test record. Low-mileage Kugas of this generation commonly develop corrosion on subframe mounts and rear suspension arms if stored outdoors, and the MOT tester cannot flag hidden structural rust without strip-down. Check the front coil springs and suspension bushes for cracking from prolonged standing, and confirm brake disc condition given the rear brakes see little heat cycling at this usage level. The clean advisory sheet suggests previous owners kept basic consumables within legal limits, yet absence of faults is not proof of proactive care. Inspect the cambelt interval, underbody protection, and tyre sidewall ageing before purchase, as rubber degradation from low mileage and time often escapes MOT detection.
