2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · DS18 AEM

This Ford Kuga presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 25 April 2025 at 77,311 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test three days prior on 22 April 2025, the record shows no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved instantly. The absence of advisories across multiple years indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for an eight year old vehicle. Between April 2022 and April 2023, the car covered 4,480 miles. This increased significantly to 8,690 miles by April 2024 and rose again to 14,017 miles by the April 2025 test. This upward trend in annual mileage suggests the vehicle is now used more intensively than in its earlier years, which typically accelerates the wear of consumables. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, there are no recurring mechanical faults or structural warnings to flag. The tester has not noted any issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or chassis corrosion over the last four years. This lack of recorded defects implies a disciplined approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that the MOT may not flag as failures until they reach a critical limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the recent increase in annual mileage will have depleted these components faster. Verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the engine has been cared for alongside the chassis.
