2022 Ford Kuga Zetec Ecoblue 1.5L Diesel · LD22 ACY

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-06-06 at 19,162 miles, with no defects recorded. However, the prior test on 2025-06-05 at 46,250 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed. This inconsistency raises questions about the accuracy of the mileage or test dates, as the recorded mileage dropped significantly between the two assessments. The lack of defects in both tests suggests no critical mechanical issues were identified, but the abrupt change in status and mileage discrepancy warrants further investigation. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 19,162 miles over four years equates to an average of 4,790 miles annually, which is unusually low for a 2022 model. This suggests either minimal usage or extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, battery health, and fluid integrity. The failed MOT at 46,250 miles—assuming this figure is accurate—would imply higher wear, yet no defects were noted, complicating the interpretation of its maintenance history. The sparse data limits definitive conclusions about long-term trends. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s actual mileage and inspect for signs of inactivity-related issues, such as corrosion in the exhaust system or stiffness in the suspension. The absence of recorded defects in both tests does not preclude hidden faults, particularly if the failed MOT was due to non-technical reasons (e.g., expired certificate). A physical inspection should focus on the brake system, suspension components, and structural integrity, as these areas are critical for roadworthiness and may not be fully captured in MOT records.
