2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · FJL 74

The 2018 Ford Kuga presents a highly stable and exemplary maintenance trend, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes with zero defects. The most recent test on 7 April 2026 at 29,855 miles recorded no advisories or failures, confirming the vehicle currently meets all UK roadworthiness standards. This unblemished record indicates consistent mechanical care and a lack of ongoing deterioration across critical safety systems. The recorded mileage of 29,855 miles over eight years equates to roughly 3,732 miles annually, classifying this Kuga as a low-mileage example. The progression shows steady, predictable accumulation: 8,684 miles in April 2022, 14,563 miles in March 2023, 20,074 miles in March 2024, 25,035 miles in April 2025, and 29,855 miles in April 2026. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden spikes in usage, suggesting the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than standing idle for prolonged periods. Despite the flawless MOT history, the low annual mileage warrants a physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from light use. A buyer should examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat-spotting, which often occurs on vehicles covering short distances. The braking system requires scrutiny; infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion on brake discs and binding calipers, even if they passed the roller test. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perishing, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from dry rot rather than mechanical wear. Finally, inspect the exhaust system and underbody for corrosion, ensuring structural integrity remains intact despite the low mileage.
