2021 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Eblue 4X4 A 2.0L Diesel · EF70 RXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 57,385 miles and no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend following a failure in late 2024. While the 2024 test revealed multiple tyre-related failures, the clean sheet from the subsequent test indicates that the owner addressed these immediate safety concerns and brought the vehicle back to a standard level of compliance. At 57,385 miles over five years, the Kuga aligns with typical average usage patterns of approximately 11,500 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression, with 8,000 miles driven between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 5,600 miles covered between November 2024 and October 2025. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which helps prevent premature degradation of rubber components and brake fluid moisture-. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyre condition during a physical inspection. The November 2024 failure highlighted multiple issues, including sidewall perishing and uneven wear on the front nearside tyre. This specific wear pattern on the edge often indicates a need for alignment or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified by checking the current tyres for irregular scrubbing. Additionally, because a child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult seatbelt in the previous tests, the buyer should manually check the webbing for fraying and ensure the locking mechanism functions correctly.
