2018 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CX68 BGE

The 2018 Ford Kuga demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five MOT tests passing without defects. The most recent assessment on 2025-04-25 at 58,163 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results from 2024-04-30 (40,056 miles) and 2023-05-03 (42,830 miles). No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident in the record, suggesting consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or failures indicates the vehicle has met regulatory standards throughout its operational life. Mileage progression shows a typical annual average of 7,270 miles, though a notable reduction from 42,830 miles in 2023 to 40,056 miles in 2024 raises questions about usage patterns. This 2,774-mile decrease contrasts with the 18,107-mile increase between 2024 and 2025, which may reflect periods of inactivity or fluctuating demand. The 2021-09-09 test at 10,363 miles and 2022-09-01 test at 19,067 miles suggest initial ownership periods with moderate usage. The sparse data prior to 2021 limits insight into early maintenance practices. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake discs and calipers warrant inspection for uneven wear, as sudden mileage spikes can accelerate component fatigue. Structural corrosion, though not flagged in MOT records, should be assessed in areas prone to moisture ingress, such as underbody panels. The lack of recorded defects does not preclude hidden issues, so a physical inspection by a qualified technician is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
