2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FG19 YAH

The 2019 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 March 2026 at 44,070 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests show no advisories or recurring faults. The upkeep pattern is consistent and free of escalating mechanical concerns. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,300 miles, typical for a seven-year-old vehicle. The records trace a clean climb from 25,298 miles at the April 2023 test to 36,666 miles by March 2025, then 44,070 by March 2026. A minor anomaly appears in March 2024, where the tester failed the car on 18 March at 31,232 miles yet logged no defects, with a clean pass issued three days later at 31,233 miles. This suggests an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or structural neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age. The MOT data shows no corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emission issues across the timeline. The March 2024 failure with zero recorded defects warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason to confirm it was procedural. Previous owners appear to have maintained the Kuga to a reasonable standard, with no skipped tests or ignored advisories. At 44,070 miles the drivetrain and chassis likely retain serviceable life, but tyres and wiper blades should be verified for age-related perishing rather than wear.
