2021 Ford Kuga Vignale HEV CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric · GC21 UWR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in basic consumable upkeep. While it passed its latest test in April 2026 at 16,678 miles, the tester identified significant issues with rubber including worn front tyres and perished rear tyres. This marks a shift from the clean records of 2024 and 2025, suggesting that tyre-related maintenance has been neglected despite the overall low-mile profile. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,336 miles per year. The data shows consistent intervals between tests, moving from 8,837 miles in July 2024 to 11,620 miles in April 2025, and reaching 16,678 miles by April 2026. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts, as evidenced by the perished rear tyres noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all tyres to check for sidewall cracking and dry rot, as the record indicates the vehicle is prone to sitting for extended periods. The inspector should also verify the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust due to infrequent use. While no structural or major mechanical faults have appeared in the history, the focus should remain on age-related degradation of components rather than mileage-based wear.
