2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Eblue Mhev 2.0L Diesel · MJ22 XLL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass result on April 10, 2026. The maintenance trend shows a recent dip in consistency, evidenced by a failure just one day prior. While the car passed the latest inspection, the immediate failure for a structurally compromised offside rear tyre and a pitted offside rear brake disc indicates that essential repairs were only addressed in direct response to the MOT test rather than through a proactive service schedule. At 23,143 miles over four years, the Kuga reflects an average of approximately 5,786 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, the gap between the April 2025 test at 17,929 miles and the April 2026 test shows only 5,210 miles of travel. Such low annual mileage can lead to surface spotting and corrosion on brake discs, which aligns with the scoring noted during the most recent failure. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rear braking system. The offside rear disc showed pitting and scoring in the April 2026 test, so the buyer must check the opposite side for similar signs of surface corrosion and ensure the replacement disc is of adequate quality. The structural failure of the offside rear tyre also necessitates a thorough check of the remaining tyres for sidewall damage or age cracking, which are common issues in vehicles that sit for long periods.
