2019 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · FH19 LWD

The 2019 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 April 2025 at 38,371 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed attempt on the same date at 38,368 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in April 2022, 2023, and 2024 all passed cleanly at 20,853, 26,490, and 32,532 miles respectively. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across its six-year test history. Recorded mileage sits at 38,371 against an approximate seven-year age, equating to roughly 5,482 miles per year. This is low for a compact SUV and suggests light use or extended standing periods. The annual increments are consistent: 6,637 miles between April 2022 and April 2023, 6,042 between 2023 and 2024, and 5,839 between 2024 and the 2025 pass. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the DVSA data. The clean advisory columns across all entries mean the record offers little forensic detail on wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished test roster. Low mileage combined with possible long stationary spells raises the risk of perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on brake discs or underbody members not yet severe enough for MOT failure. The Kuga's rear suspension bushes and coil springs warrant hands-on checks for cracking or seepage. Given the absence of recorded advisories, previous keepers likely maintained basic statutory compliance, though the sparse commentary limits insight into consumable renewal habits. Verify service history independently and confirm the April 2025 failure carried no hidden rectification cost before purchase.
