2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EB19 CWU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on August 4 2025 at 24,654 miles. While it failed earlier on that same day due to incorrect headlamp aim, this was a minor adjustment issue rather than a mechanical failure. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently met testing standards without any recurring structural or serious mechanical defects recorded over the last three years. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 24,654 miles represents exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. This low mileage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short trips or remained stationary for extended periods. Between July 2024 and August 2025, the car covered 8,310 miles, which is consistent with this low-use profile. Low mileage can sometimes lead to accelerated aging of rubber components and flat-spotting tyres or corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits for without regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components flagged during the July 2024 test at 16,344 miles. The tester identified thin front brake pads and both front inner tyres worn to the edge. While these were rectified prior to the 2025 pass, an inspection should verify that replacement parts have sufficient life and that the alignment is correct. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for pitting on the brake discs and cracking in suspension bushes, which can occur when vehicles are not driven frequently.
