2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · CX68 NJV

The 2018 Ford Kuga presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 81,512 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of passes since 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVLA history, which indicates the vehicle has not required rectification work to meet statutory standards. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show 47,449 miles in May 2022, rising to 59,735 by May 2023, then 71,159 in May 2024, 77,865 in December 2024, and 81,512 in November 2025. The yearly accumulation averages around 10,189 miles with no abrupt jumps or standing periods. The sparse but consistent test spacing and zero defect entries suggest the previous keeper kept basic servicing current and avoided neglect of consumables. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The Kuga's MacPherson front struts and multi-link rear suspension can develop worn bushes or weakened coil springs that a pass test will not always flag unless severely degraded. Examine brake discs for lip wear and calipers for binding, since the history gives no insight into component condition between tests. Check underside structural integrity for corrosion around sills and subframes, particularly where road salt exposure occurs. Confirm tyre tread depth and sidewall condition match the claimed low-wear profile. The clean MOT trail lowers risk, but independent verification of suspension and braking components remains sound practice before purchase.
