2019 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · EF69 FVN

The vehicle presents a stable but maintenance-reactive profile based on the most recent MOT history. The December 2025 test at 34,613 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged rear brake pads as wearing thin. This advisory follows a similar warning in December 2024, indicating a recurring pattern of brake wear that has not been fully addressed through replacement. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2019 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,945 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental growth from 10,338 miles in December 2022 to 34,613 miles in December 2025. This low usage suggests the vehicle has seen light duty, though the lack of high mileage can sometimes lead to component degradation from infrequent operation, such as seized calipers or perished rubber components. The MOT records highlight a trend of neglected consumables, specifically tyres and braking components. In December 2024, the vehicle failed due to a non-functioning side repeater, insufficient tread depth on the nearside front tyre, and uneven wear on the offside front tyre. The presence of front brake pads measuring less than 1.5mm during that same failure demonstrates a lapse in basic maintenance. While the 2025 test shows the front pads were likely replaced, the recurring advisory for thin rear pads suggests the braking system requires immediate attention. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking the thickness of the rear pads and the condition of the discs for scoring or uneven wear. Given the history of uneven tyre wear, a professional alignment check is necessary to ensure the suspension geometry is correct. The buyer should also inspect the condition of all tyres and ensure that the side repeaters and other electrical components are fully operational to avoid immediate post-purchase failures.
