2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · DS18 AEK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent history. The most recent inspection on 06 November 2025 at 67,857 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the owner has maintained the mechanical integrity of the vehicle effectively. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between October 2022 and November 2024, the car covered 7,585 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The interval of 4,721 miles recorded between November 2024 and November 2025 reflects a slight dip in annual usage. This low mileage generally reduces the likelihood of premature wear on drivetrain components and suspension-related hardware typically associated with high-mileage motorway commuting. The single point of concern is the failure recorded on 20 November 2023 at 59,157 miles, though the vehicle passed the re-test on the same day. Since the subsequent tests, no advisories or defects have appeared, which is rare for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the rubber bushings in the suspension and the condition of the brake discs, as these components can perish over time even if the mileage remains low. The lack of recorded advisories for exhaust corrosion or brake pad wear suggests the chassis and braking system are in good condition.
