2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · JM04 WAL

The 2019 Ford Kuga has a mixed MOT history, with recent and recurring issues primarily linked to tyres and minor electrical faults. The most recent MOT on 2026-02-11 shows a pass at 34,976 miles, but two noted defects : a registration plate lamp inoperative and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. A separate entry on the same date records a fail for the same tyre issue and the lamp defect, suggesting potential inconsistency in the test outcome. This highlights a lack of clarity in the vehicle’s compliance status. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear and electrical faults . In 2024-05-30, the MOT noted nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the limit, along with a defective windscreen wiper blade. By 2025-02-19, an offside front side repeater failed, and in 2026, the same tyre wear resurfaced. These issues suggest ongoing tyre maintenance needs and potential neglect of minor electrical components . While no major safety defects were recorded in the latest pass, the repeated tyre warnings indicate a consistent risk of future failure. The vehicle’s mileage of 34,976 miles over seven years equates to approximately 4,997 miles annually, which is below average for its age.
