2016 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · JC02 JYC

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test in April 2026 at 47,645 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This stability indicates a positive maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle to meet regulatory standards without any recurring mechanical or structural failures being flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 26,683 miles and April 2026 at 47,645 miles, the car covered 20,962 miles. This low annual usage suggests minimal wear on high-stress components like the engine and brake systems. However, low-mile operation over a decade can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. Since the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than high-mileage wear. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or perished rubber, which can occur as parts age regardless of the distance driven. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as vehicles that sit for long periods often develop uneven oxidation. Additionally, verify the condition of the tyres for dry cracking, as tread depth may remain sufficient despite the compound reaching the end of its life.
