2019 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · FV19 NZF

The 2019 Ford Kuga has a largely clean MOT history, with only one notable issue in its most recent inspection. On 2025-11-05, it passed with a warning about front brake pads wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). No other defects were recorded in this or previous MOTs, which span from 2022 to 2025. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 37,357 miles over 7 years equates to roughly 5,337 miles per year—significantly lower than the average for its age. This suggests either light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which can lead to component degradation unrelated to wear from driving. The recurring mechanical pattern is minimal: no repeated faults or warnings beyond the 2025 brake pad issue. The trend appears stable, with no worsening condition evident in the MOT records. However, the front brake pads being “wearing thin” in the latest test raises a specific safety concern. Brake pad wear is a critical issue that could escalate quickly if ignored, potentially leading to reduced stopping power or damage to brake discs. This is the only active risk identified in the data.
