2021 Ford Kuga Titanium Edition 1.5L Petrol · HX71 NHA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from perfect records to required consumable attention. While the car passed its most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 28,973 miles, the tester flagged thin front and rear brake pads. This marks a departure from the clean records of the previous two years, indicating that the vehicle has now reached a stage where routine wear items require replacement. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 10,000 miles between the September 2024 test (16,742 miles) and the March 2026 test (28,973 miles), which suggests a more recent increase in usage compared to the earlier years of ownership. This low-mileage generally preserves the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to brake disc corrosion or flat spotting if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system in person to ensure the thin pads have been replaced before they cause scoring or damage to the discs. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for rubber degradation in suspension bushes and tyres, as these components can age through time rather than through use. The lack of any structural corrosion or mechanical failures in the history suggests the chassis has remained in a good condition throughout its life.
