2021 Ford Kuga Titanium ED Eblue 4X4 A 2.0L Diesel · GT02 AAA

The 2021 Ford Kuga in question presents a stable roadworthiness record over the past year, with the most recent MOT on 14 March 2026 at 26,269 miles passing without any defects. The only recent issues were minor and resolved promptly: the offside front windscreen wiper failure in March 2025 was corrected before the next test, while the rear brake pads wearing thin and tyre wear close to legal limits in July 2024 were addressed by the time of the March 2025 retest. There is no evidence of recurring structural or mechanical failures, though the history does show a pattern of consumable neglect —tyres and wiper blades—suggesting the vehicle has not been subject to rigorous routine maintenance beyond MOT compliance. The mileage of 26,269 miles over five years —roughly 5,254 miles annually —is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly a 4x4. This could indicate infrequent use, extended periods of disuse, or potential odometer discrepancies , though the steady increments between tests (e.g., 2,213 miles between July 2024 and March 2025 ) suggest genuine low mileage rather than tampering. The absence of rapid mileage spikes or excessive wear in the MOT records supports the idea that the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy or aggressive driving conditions. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be on brake system health beyond the MOT pass, given the rear brake pad advisory at 22,058 miles —this could signal uneven wear or binding calipers if not addressed. Tyre condition remains a concern, particularly the front and near-side rear tyres worn on the edge in 2024, which may indicate alignment issues or underinflation; a full set of tyres should be inspected for consistent tread depth and sidewall integrity. Suspension components , such as bushings or coil springs, were not flagged, but the low mileage makes it difficult to assess long-term wear—any signs of clunking or uneven ride height should be investigated. Finally, while the windscreen wiper failure was resolved, check the remaining wiper blades for cracks or reduced effectiveness, as this was the only non-critical but recurring issue in the history.
