2018 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CX68 WTG

The 2018 Ford Kuga demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-11-04 assessment at 107,083 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 similarly passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-cared for, though its high annual mileage of ~13,385 miles raises expectations for accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements. The mileage progression shows a steady increase, with the car accumulating 22,333 miles by 2021, 42,724 by 2022, 64,624 by 2023, 85,035 by 2024, and 107,083 by 2025. This pattern reflects regular use rather than prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of corrosion or fluid degradation. However, the rapid accumulation from 2021 to 2025—over 84,000 miles—implies frequent operation, which may have strained consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and brake linings. The lack of recorded defects in these areas suggests proactive replacement, but a physical inspection is still advised to confirm condition. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often accelerates these issues. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has encountered salted roads. Additionally, the exhaust system’s integrity and structural rust in underbody panels warrant scrutiny, as these can develop over time despite passing MOTs. The vehicle’s clean MOT history is reassuring, but its age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm ongoing reliability.
