2021 Ford Kuga Vignale 1.5L Petrol · DN71 AAE

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 20 May 2025 at 3,417 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful test in November 2024 at 2,716 miles, indicating that the vehicle has consistently met minimum regulatory standards without any noted issues regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or lighting. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. Averaging approximately 683 miles per year, the car has covered significantly less ground than the typical UK average. While the MOT history is sparse due to the vehicle's recent age and low usage, the data shows a consistent, albeit very slow, accumulation of distance. This pattern suggests the vehicle has spent much of its life in storage or has been used only for very short, occasional trips. While the MOT record is flawless, the extremely low mileage and infrequent usage present specific mechanical considerations for a buyer. Vehicles that sit idle for long periods are prone to issues such as perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or flat-spotted tyres. I recommend a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and drive belts to ensure they have not become brittle from lack of movement. A thorough check of the battery health and fluid levels is also advised, as long periods of standing can lead to degradation. You should specifically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and verify that the tyres show no signs of sidewall cracking or age-related deterioration, regardless of their tread depth. The lack of recorded faults is a positive indicator, but the mechanical reality of a low-use vehicle requires a hands-on assessment of all consumables.
