2016 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · FB64 CAM

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 103,292 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently passes inspections with minor issues rather than major mechanical failures. While the March 2025 test resulted in a failure due to a blowout bulb and an insecure exhaust heatshield, these were rectified immediately for the re-test, suggesting the owner is responsive to legal safety requirements when they are identified. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year. Between March 2023 and April 2026, the Kuga covered 28,420 miles, indicating a steady usage rate of roughly 9,500 miles annually during this specific period. This consistent driving is generally preferable to long periods of standing which can lead to brake corrosion and seal degradation, though the total mileage subjects the vehicle to expected wear on rubber components and suspension bushings. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and tyre condition based on recent entries. The April 2026 test flagged cracking and perishing on the inner shoulders of both rear tyres, which indicates the rubber is reaching the end of its shelf life regardless of the remaining tread depth. Additionally, the 2023 report noted oil misting on both rear shock absorbers and a damaged front upper engine mount. A physical inspection should verify if the shock absorbers have progressed to active leaks and if the engine mount is causing vibrations or excessive noise under load.
