2019 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · DB14 JDB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 89,697 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a streak of clean results since 2023, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have maintained a standard that meets minimum DVSA requirements without recurring failures in the more recent entries. The car has covered a significant distance, averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year over its seven-year lifespan. The data shows a steady acceleration in usage, particularly with 16,726 miles recorded between November 2023 and October 2024, and another 16,440 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This high annual mileage suggests regular motorway use rather than long periods of standing, which often benefits engine health by preventing component degradation, though it places higher demand on wear-related items like suspension bushes, shocks, and drivetrain components. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to the 90,000-mile threshold. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension for play in the control arms or signs of perished rubber bushings is necessary. The brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven thinning or caliper binding, which are common in high-mileage SUVs. While the 2022 failure at 38,891 miles was resolved immediately to allow a pass, the lack of advisories in later years suggests the owner has been proactive in addressing minor issues before they became failure points.
