2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EP68 CFN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred consumable replacements. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 75,631 miles passed, it revealed advisories for both front tyres reaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a pattern established in the 2024 test at 66,754 miles where rear tyres were flagged for perishing and damage. The mileage profile is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of nearly 10,000 miles between January 2023 and December 2023, followed by a steady accumulation of roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year thereafter. The consistent mileage increase between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests the car has been used regularly for standard road commuting, though the owner fails to address tyre condition until the inspection interval. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment geometry, as the recurring wear on the edges of the front tyres in 2025 often indicates worn bushes or incorrect tracking. The perishing of the rear tyres noted in 2022 and 2024 suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for short periods or been exposed to conditions that degrade rubber. While no structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures have been recorded, the repeated focus on rubber components indicates a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a proactive one.
