2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · D24 WAY

The 2019 Ford Kuga presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 June 2025 at 33,869 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of four consecutive annual passes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has not required rectification work between tests. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a seven-year-old car. The record shows 17,214 miles at the 23 September 2022 test, rising to 21,060 by 21 August 2023, 28,231 by 16 August 2024, and 33,869 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 4,800 miles per year. The gaps between tests span ten to eleven months each, with no prolonged lapses. Low, consistent use of this nature often points to a cautious owner and light duty cycles, though extended standing periods can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless record. The absence of advisories means the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, cracked coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust corrosion at the time of each test. Given the low mileage and likely periods of inactivity, examine brake discs for surface rust pitting, check underbody and sill structure for early moisture-driven corrosion, and verify tyre sidewalls for age cracking even where tread remains legal. The Kuga's documented history supports a favourable purchase assumption, but MOT pass sheets confirm only minimum legal condition on the test day. Independent scrutiny of drivetrain mounts, steering gaiters, and fluid intervals remains prudent before completion.
