2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Eblue Mhev 2.0L Diesel · DS22 UOB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with an improving maintenance trend following a period of noted wear. The most recent inspection on 26 January 2026 at 31,520 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified during the previous year were addressed by the owner, returning the car to a clean standard of operation. The recorded mileage of 31,520 miles over four years reflects an average usage of approximately 7,880 miles per annum. This aligns with typical UK mileage patterns for a modern family crossover. Between the July 2025 test at 29,897 miles and the January 2026 test, the vehicle covered roughly 1,600 miles, suggesting consistent recent driving habits rather than long periods of stagnation which can often lead to accelerated corrosion or brake seizing in hybrid models. A physical inspection should focus on the rear suspension and braking system, as the July 2025 test at 29,897 miles flagged both nearside and offside rear axle swivel pins and bushes as slightly worn, alongside pitted discs and thin pads. The buyer should verify that these components were replaced with high-quality parts and check for any remaining play or uneven braking pull. While the January 2026 test was clean, the previous presence of these faults suggests the rear suspension assembly is susceptible to wear and may require monitoring in the future to prevent recurring advisories.
