2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FE69 XHM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. The most recent inspection conducted in July 2025 at 41,161 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintained in a clean state according to DVSA testing standards. The mileage pattern is low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,880 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with 5,000 miles covered between the August 2022 and July 2023 tests, and another 7,500 miles recorded between 2023 and 2024. This low annual mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to dry seals or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between trips. The July 2023 test at 27,124 miles highlighted a period where preventative maintenance was neglected. The tester flagged significantly worn rear brake pads, pitted and scored rear discs, and both front tyres reaching the 3mm legal limit. While the vehicle passed the subsequent 2024 and 2025 tests without issue, a buyer should still verify the current condition of the brake discs and tyre rubber to ensure they were replaced with quality components rather than budget alternatives. The deteriorated plate noted in 2023 is a minor cosmetic failure that does not impact the mechanical integrity of the car.
