Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, but verify rece
When inspecting this specific 1.5L diesel Kuga, focus on the braking system. The MOT history shows that in June 2025, the vehicle failed due to significantly worn rear brake discs and had an advisory for a worn front disc. Although the August 2026 MOT passed with no defects, you should ask for receipts to confirm that the discs and pads were replaced following that failure.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. The 2025 record noted a perishing offside rear tyre. Ensure all four tyres have adequate tread depth and show no signs of sidewall cracking. Given the diesel engine, also check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay which are common as mileage climbs toward the 60,000-mile mark.
As a Euro 6 diesel, this Kuga is compliant with most UK Low Emission Zones, which helps manage urban driving costs. The 1499cc engine is generally efficient for motorway cruising, though actual fuel economy will depend on load and driving style.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve regular servicing of the diesel components and brake replacements, which were noted as an issue in the 2025 MOT. Expect insurance groups to be mid-range for a family SUV. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and estimated maintenance, are estimated below.
Direct your attention to the braking components. The MOT history specifically flagged worn front brake discs and significantly worn rear brake discs in 2025. Even with a clean 2026 MOT, it is prudent to visually inspect the discs for scoring or excessive lip buildup.
Check the tyres for age and condition. The 2025 MOT highlighted a tyre that was cracking or perishing; ensure the current set is relatively fresh and not showing signs of age-related degradation. Finally, verify the service intervals have been met, as the jump from 26,885 to 53,417 miles in two years suggests a higher-than-average driving frequency.
This 2019 white Ford Kuga, powered by a 1.5L diesel engine, has covered 53,417 miles as of its most recent MOT in August 2026. The vehicle shows a pattern of consistent usage, with mileage increasing from 26,885 in 2024 to 53,417 today. While it experienced a failure in June 2025 due to brake and tyre issues, the most recent test in 2026 recorded no defects.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 84% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, tyres, and brake pads.
