2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · FL68 VFW

The 2018 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 27,954 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across five consecutive annual examinations. Annual mileage averages 3,494 miles against an eight-year lifespan, confirming exceptionally light use. The records show steady, low accumulation: 11,098 miles at the 23 October 2021 test, rising to 16,629 by 28 October 2022, 19,239 on 3 November 2023, 23,788 on 12 December 2024, and 27,954 by December 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data carries no advisories, failures, or flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues at any stage. A clean MOT history with no advisories does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Low mileage combined with long standing periods risks perished rubber components, seized calipers, and hidden structural rust beneath sills and subframes that testers may not strip down. The Kuga's rear suspension arms and droplink bushes warrant hands-on checks for cracking or play. Verify the odometer reading against service stamps and V5C documentation to confirm the low-mileage claim. Inspect brake discs for lip corrosion from disuse and test for binding calipers after a short road trial. Given the absence of recorded faults, the vehicle suggests a careful prior keeper, but pre-purchase scrutiny of underbody integrity remains essential.
