AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle, a 2011 Ford Kuga, passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-03-04 at 129,738 miles, with the only advisories being worn front tyres and a slightly damaged nearside rear tyre. However, the overall roadworthiness trend appears stable, with no major failures in the past two years. The last notable failure occurred in 2024, where the vehicle failed due to excessive exhaust emissions, worn brake discs, and other minor issues. The recorded mileage of 129,738 miles at the time of the most recent test suggests that the vehicle has been used at a typical rate for its age. Over the past 15 years, the average annual mileage has been around 8,649 miles, which is roughly in line with average usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no notable gaps in the mileage record, and the data appears to be relatively clean, with no significant rapid mileage accumulation or unusual patterns. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person, paying particular attention to the suspension and steering system, as there have been repeated advisories regarding play in the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. The brakes also warrant close inspection, given the history of worn brake discs, pads, and excessive wear on the rear brake pads. Furthermore, the vehicle's exhaust emissions exceeded the manufacturer's specified limit in 2024, suggesting potential issues with the exhaust system. Additionally, the presence of corrosion on the brake discs and the fractured coil spring in 2018 indicate potential structural integrity concerns.
