2020 Ford Kuga ST-Line X Ecoblue Auto 1.5L Diesel · MD13 JEM

The vehicle's current roadworthiness appears stable following a pass in February 2026, though the most recent inspection indicates a decline in consumable maintenance. While the car passed its latest test at 49,414 miles, the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit with uneven wear on both the inner and outer edges. This specific advisory suggests potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that should be addressed to prevent premature tyre degradation. The mileage progression shows a consistent and typical usage pattern for a six-year-old vehicle. The car covered 9,248 miles between February 2025 and February 2026, and approximately 9,252 miles between October 2023 and February 2025. This averages roughly 9,250 miles per year, which aligns closely with the overall lifetime average of 8,236 miles per year. The data shows no signs of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage accumulation. Previous records highlight a period of minor electrical and bodywork neglect. In October 2023 at 23,864 miles, the vehicle failed its test due to a non-functional offside front headlamp, a dim daytime running lamp, and a misaligned nearside side repeater. The following year's test in February 2025 noted tyre damage on both the offside front and nearside rear. These faults are largely superficial or consumable-based rather than structural, suggesting the previous owner focused on basic operational requirements. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension components and wheel alignment to investigate the uneven tyre wear noted in the February 2026 test. Checking the condition of the steering rack, bushes, and shock absorbers would be prudent to rule out mechanical causes for the edge wear. Additionally, verifying the integrity of all exterior lighting and the condition of the tyre sidewalls will ensure the vehicle meets the standards established in recent inspections.
