2020 Ford Kuga Titanium First ED Eblue 1.5L Diesel · MB65 BAZ

The 2020 Ford Kuga in question holds a clean MOT record with no recorded defects across all four tests, most recently passing on 21 July 2025 at 30,496 miles. This suggests a stable maintenance history with no recurring mechanical issues or advisory notes that would indicate neglect or impending failure. The absence of failings or advisories—even on critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers—implies the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if not rigorous, servicing. However, the single duplicate entry for the 2024 test (both a pass and a fail at 24,665 miles) is unusual and may warrant clarification, as it could imply an administrative error or a brief period of non-use between tests. The recorded mileage of 30,496 miles over six years equates to approximately 5,083 miles per annum, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and specification. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests—where mileage jumped from 20,186 to 24,665—suggests a period of inactivity or very light use, followed by a sudden increase. This pattern could indicate the vehicle was stored for an extended period before being reintroduced to regular use, potentially allowing for minor corrosion or fluid degradation. The subsequent consistent mileage increments (24,665 to 30,496 between 2024 and 2025) suggest current use, but the overall low mileage means wear items like brake discs, suspension dampers, and timing belt components may still be within manufacturer-recommended service intervals. Given the lack of MOT advisories, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested during an MOT. The suspension system—particularly the condition of the rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for excessive play or corrosion, as these are not always flagged until they reach critical failure points. Brake discs and pads, while not failed in MOT tests, should be checked for uneven wear or glazing, which could indicate binding calipers or misaligned wheels. Structural integrity, especially around the wheel arches and sills.
