2018 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CX18 AYD

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection on 26 January 2026 at 113,686 miles. The absence of advisories or failures in the last two years suggests the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition. While the 2024 test on 5 February 2024 shows a momentary failure, the subsequent pass without recorded defects indicates that the issue was rectified promptly. The mileage accumulation is high for a 2018 model, averaging approximately 14,211 miles per year. This consistent usage pattern is evident in the steady progression from 95,631 miles in February 2023 to 113,686 miles in early 2026. This level of annual mileage suggests the car has been used regularly for long-distance commuting rather than short, urban trips, which typically results in more consistent mechanical wear across the drivetrain and suspension components. Because the vehicle has covered significant mileage, a physical inspection should focus on wear-and-tear components that the MOT does not always capture in detail. The high mileage increases the likelihood of worn suspension bushes, degraded coil springs, or leaking shock absorbers. You should also check for uneven tyre wear or scoring on the brake discs, which often accompanies high-mileage vehicles used on motorways. Given the consistent usage, examine the underside for signs of corrosion on the exhaust system and structural mounting points. While the MOT history shows no recurring issues, the high mileage means the timing belt and water pump may be approaching the end of their service life. Verifying the service history for these specific mechanical items is essential for a vehicle with this level of accumulation.
