2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · CX68 FWH

The 2018 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 31,644 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 22 August 2024 at 26,049 miles confirms the vehicle has avoided recurring advisories or mechanical faults across its recorded history. Mileage sits low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 15,717 miles at the 30 August 2022 test, rising to 18,992 by 2 August 2023, then 26,037 at the 21 August 2024 failure and 26,049 the next day on retest, reaching 31,644 by August 2025. Annual accumulation averages roughly 3,956 miles, indicating light use with no sudden high-mileage spikes. The single failure on 21 August 2024 carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor cause rather than a mechanical fault, with immediate correction and pass logged one day later. Given the sparse and clean MOT history, no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, corrosion, or exhaust emission issues appear in the data. The low mileage and absence of advisories imply previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though long stationary periods can conceal perished rubber components or flat-spotted tyres not captured in annual tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody corrosion, and brake caliper operation. Verify the 2024 failure reason through DVSA channels, and check consumables such as wiper blades and tyre sidewalls for degradation from limited use.
