2019 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · MA69 TFU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance over time. Following the most recent test in September 2025 at 49,976 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects, marking a clean sheet for three consecutive inspections. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in earlier years were addressed and that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high operational standard. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,140 miles per annum. Records show steady progression from 23,240 miles in September 2022 to 41,731 miles in September 2024, finally reaching 49,976 miles in late 2025. This low usage suggests regular short trips, which typically reduces the stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage motorway-heavy vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front geometry. The September 2022 test at 23,240 miles flagged thin rear pads and uneven tyre wear, which culminated in a failure in September 2023 at 32,413 miles due to worn rear discs and dangerously thin pads. While these were clearly rectified, an inspector should verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the front alignment remains correct. Additionally, the previous edge wear on front tyres in 2022 warrants a check of the suspension bushes and ball joints to ensure no lingering issues are causing premature tyre degradation.
