2018 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · JR12 AJR

The 2018 Ford Kuga demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-01-28 at 57,180 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s compliance with safety standards over four consecutive annual inspections suggests the previous owner prioritized regular servicing, though no detailed fault reports are available to confirm specific component care. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, accumulating approximately 7,148 miles annually. The MOT records show steady increments: 30,543 miles (2022), 37,498 (2023), 45,543 (2024), 52,103 (2025), and 57,180 (2026), reflecting a regular driving pattern without prolonged inactivity. No abrupt spikes or extended gaps in mileage suggest the car has been used consistently, reducing risks of component degradation from standing. A buyer should verify suspension integrity, particularly bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade over time without visible MOT failures. Inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as rear brake binding could go undetected in standard tests. Check for corrosion in the exhaust system and underbody, common in older vehicles, and confirm the battery’s condition, as age can affect electrical systems. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, these areas warrant physical inspection to ensure long-term reliability.
