2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · EL65 ANE

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 91,010 miles passed outright with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a sequence of three clean passes in the preceding years, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that the failure recorded in early 2023 was resolved immediately without recurring issues appearing in subsequent tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression between tests, such as the 13,207-mile gap between January 2024 and 2025, and another 12,441 miles between 2025 and 2026. This regular interval suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and fluids within the braking system. While the MOT history is clean of structural advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to wear as the vehicle nears the 100,000-mile mark. Given the consistent mileage, a close look at the suspension bushes and coil springs is advisable to check for signs of play or fatigue. The lack of advisories for brake calipers or exhaust corrosion suggests the previous owners were proactive, but the physical thickness of the discs and pads should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life.
