2018 Ford Kuga ST-Line Tdci Auto 1.5L Diesel · EA18 AFO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 20 April 2024 at 52,088 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have successfully maintained the mechanical and safety standards of the vehicle without triggering failure points over the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,500 miles per annum. Between the May 2022 test at 37,682 miles and the April 2023 test at 44,374 miles, the car covered 6,692 miles, followed by another 7,714 miles leading into the latest inspection. This steady accumulation suggests regular light use rather than long periods of standing, which typically results in better overall condition for the automatic gearbox seals and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults regarding structural corrosion or mechanical components, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that the MOT does not cover. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes for cracks and the coil springs for any signs of fatigue, given the vehicle's age. Despite the low mileage, verifying the brake discs for surface pitting and ensuring the automatic transmission fluid is fresh remains essential to confirm the vehicle has not suffered from moisture-related degradation.
