2018 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EX18 WHU

The 2018 Ford Kuga demonstrates a stable and commendable roadworthiness trend, culminating in a clean pass on 19 March 2026 at 40,209 miles with zero defects recorded. This latest test confirms that previous minor maintenance items have been addressed, leaving the vehicle in a sound mechanical condition. Covering 40,209 miles across eight years equates to an annual average of approximately 5,026 miles, which sits well below the national average for a diesel or petrol family SUV. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent year on year, increasing by roughly 5,600 miles between March 2022 and March 2023, 6,300 miles by March 2024, 5,000 miles by March 2025, and nearly 3,800 miles leading up to the March 2026 test. This steady usage pattern indicates the vehicle has been driven regularly without enduring prolonged periods of storage or excessive fleet workloads. Component wear shown in the history points to standard consumable items rather than structural neglect. The March 2025 test at 36,444 miles and the preceding March 2024 test at 31,442 miles both flagged front brake pads wearing thin, showing that the friction material was monitored across consecutive years before presumably being replaced ahead of the 2026 test. Furthermore, all four tyres exhibited perishing and cracking during the March 2023 inspection at 25,064 miles, which highlights an era where the rubber aged through time rather than tread depletion alone. Prospective buyers should conduct a physical inspection of the front brake discs and pads to verify their current thickness, given the historical tendency for rapid friction wear. Checking the DOT manufacture dates and surface sidewall integrity of all four fitted tyres remains prudent to ensure no residual perishing persists from previous years.
