2021 Ford Kuga ST-Line X Edition 1.5L Petrol · JR14 DAD

The latest MOT on 25 March 2026 at 54,072 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The recent failure on 23 March 2026 for rear brake pad wear and reduced service brake efficiency was rectified within two days, showing an improving maintenance response despite recurring brake wear. The odometer shows 38,717 miles in March 2024, rising to 42,863 miles by March 2025 – an increase of roughly 4,100 miles in twelve months – and then to 54,033 miles by March 2026 – an increase of about 11,200 miles in the same interval. This acceleration suggests higher utilisation in the most recent year, yet the overall average of roughly 10,800 miles per annum aligns with typical usage for a five‑year‑old model. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of all brake pads and discs, confirming that the recent replacement has left adequate thickness and that the service brake delivers consistent efficiency. Front tyre tread should be measured to ensure it exceeds the 1.6 mm legal minimum, and the legibility of the rear registration plate must be confirmed. Inspect the rear shock absorbers for any oil seepage beyond the light mist noted in 2025, and examine suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or corrosion. A visual check for any rust on structural panels will complete the assessment.
