2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line Ecoblue 1.5L Diesel · FD22 CCO

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT examination on 1 June 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a previous pass in June 2025 which noted wear on the front tyres. The current trajectory indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the previous concerns regarding tyre tread depth and edge wear appear to have been rectified prior to the latest inspection, suggesting the current owner is attentive to basic consumable replacement. With a recorded mileage of 24,781 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,195 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a modern family SUV, avoiding the extremes of high-mileage wear on drivetrain components and the risks associated with prolonged vehicle standing. Such moderate usage generally preserves the integrity of suspension bushes and engine internals, though it places the vehicle in a phase where initial factory-fit consumables begin to reach their mid-life cycle. Despite the clean recent MOT, the previous advisory regarding front tyres worn on the edge warrants a physical inspection of the current tyre treads. A prospective buyer should check for irregular wear patterns, such as scrubbing or feathering, which may indicate a need for a four-wheel alignment. During the test drive, listen for any abnormal humming or vibration from the front axle and ensure the steering is centered and does not drift, as persistent alignment issues can lead to premature tyre failure and increased fuel consumption. Given the age of the EcoBlue diesel engine, it is imperative to verify the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at the correct intervals to protect the turbocharger and diesel particulate filter. Inspect the brake discs for any signs of heavy surface corrosion or lip formation, and check that the calipers are not binding, which can occur even with moderate mileage if the car has spent time stationary. Finally, examine the 12V battery health and check for any perishing or sidewall cracking on the tyres, ensuring that all fluids are clear and within the correct operating levels.
