2022 Ford Kuga Zetec Ecoblue 1.5L Diesel · LD22 ADX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-26 at 49,182 miles showed no defects, confirming a stable maintenance trend. The prior test in 2024-12-03 at 33,905 miles also passed without issues, indicating consistent upkeep. No recurring faults or structural concerns were flagged, suggesting the owner prioritized basic maintenance. However, the absence of advisories does not guarantee absence of wear, particularly given the high mileage for its age. The mileage progression reveals rapid accumulation: 33,905 miles in December 2024 to 49,182 miles in November 2025—a gain of 15,277 miles over 11 months. This exceeds the average annual rate for a four-year-old vehicle, implying frequent use that could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components. The sparse MOT record offers limited insight into potential hidden issues, such as corrosion or gradual mechanical degradation, which may not surface in standard tests. A buyer should inspect the undercarriage for rust or damage, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, which can deteriorate with high mileage. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for uneven wear, as rapid usage may have overstressed these parts. Verify the condition of the exhaust emissions system, as higher mileage can lead to increased carbon buildup or leaks. While the MOT history is clean, the vehicle’s usage pattern suggests a need for thorough mechanical scrutiny beyond standard tests.
