2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FD69 OSC

The vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards for 2026, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 2025-10-03, which passed at 57,751 miles without defects. However, the maintenance history reveals a distinct pattern of instability: the vehicle failed twice in October 2025, indicating a lack of consistent upkeep that has since resolved. This suggests that while the car has been drivable, the underlying mechanical condition has deteriorated significantly over the past two years, particularly concerning the suspension and braking systems. The mileage accumulation is not uniform; the vehicle experienced a gap between October 2025 and October 2024, accumulating 17,324 miles in only two months before recovering to 40,427 miles in October 2024. This pattern of rapid mileage increase followed by a period of stability suggests that the vehicle was used inconsistently or that maintenance was skipped during the early months of the 2025 test, leading to accelerated wear on critical components. Given the recurring faults in the 2025-10-02 and 2025-10-02 tests, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, worn inner tyres, and structural integrity issues such as nail corrosion or wheel alignment problems. The history indicates that the vehicle has been subjected to repeated failures, which may require immediate professional assessment to determine if the faults are minor consumables or represent serious structural risks that could lead to safety hazards.
