2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line Edition Ecoblue A 1.5L Diesel · JM03 AMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT indicates a downward trend in preventative maintenance. While the Kuga passed its March 2026 test at 39,476 miles, the tester identified two advisories that were not present in the previous year. This shift from a clean sheet to recorded defects on tyres and brake components suggests that parts are now reaching the end of their service life and require immediate attention. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical UK usage for a modern SUV, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the February 2025 test at 26,923 miles and the March 2026 test at 39,476 miles, the vehicle covered 12,553 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which explains the accelerated wear observed on consumable items like tyres in the latest inspection. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension and braking system. The March 2026 advisory regarding front tyres wearing on the edges often points to a tracking or alignment issue or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage. Furthermore, the report of thin rear brake pads indicates that the braking system is due a service interval. A buyer should verify the thickness of the remaining pads and check the discs for signs of uneven scoring or glazing before proceeding with the purchase.
