2020 Ford Kuga ST-Line First ED E-Blue A 1.5L Diesel · L100 MKB

This Ford Kuga has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness through its most recent MOT tests, with no defects recorded across three consecutive examinations. The June 2025 pass at 38,453 miles confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, though the final test date—just over a year ago—means a new MOT is due shortly. The absence of advisories or recurring failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though no evidence of proactive servicing beyond statutory checks is visible. Buyers should note that the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear; the vehicle’s age and mileage demand closer scrutiny of high-wear components. The recorded mileage of 38,453 miles over six years equates to an average of approximately 6,409 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests—around 6,900 miles between September 2024 and October 2023, and 6,575 miles between June 2025 and September 2024—are consistent and do not indicate rapid deterioration or prolonged neglect. There are no gaps suggesting the vehicle was left untested for extended periods, though the lack of service records means no insight into oil changes, brake fluid refreshes, or suspension servicing is available. Given the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise suspension components—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—where wear often becomes apparent after 60,000 miles. Brake discs and pads, though not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or glazing, especially if the vehicle has been driven in mixed conditions. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is a common concern for this model; inspect for rust penetration in these areas, as it can compromise structural integrity. Tyres, while not recorded as defective, may warrant closer examination for uneven tread wear or damage, given the average annual mileage. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, as catalytic converter failures are occasionally masked until they become severe.
