2022 Ford Kuga Zetec Ecoblue 1.5L Diesel · LD22 ACF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-16 at 64,842 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the prior test on 2025-03-10 at 45,093 miles showed a failed result with no defects listed, suggesting an anomaly or potential administrative error. The lack of recorded issues in the latest test implies a stable maintenance trend, but the absence of detailed defect data limits confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical health. The mileage progression reveals a sharp increase from 45,093 miles in March 2025 to 64,842 miles in February 2026—a 19,749-mile jump over 11 months. This exceeds the average annual mileage of 16,210 miles for its age, indicating heavy usage that could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brakes. The sparse MOT history, with no advisories or recurring faults, suggests minimal intervention, but the rapid mileage accumulation raises concerns about potential undetected mechanical stress. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these components. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, while the exhaust system and corrosion on underbody panels warrant scrutiny. The absence of structural integrity issues in the MOT records is reassuring, but the vehicle’s usage pattern necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical condition.
