2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Ecoblue A 1.5L Diesel · MX22 TPY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on March 25, 2026, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding braking system care. While the car passed its most recent test, it failed immediately prior at 41,633 miles due to front and rear brake pads being critically thin and discs showing significant pitting. This indicates that the previous owner only addressed brake components once they reached a point of legal failure rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 41,633 miles over four years, the Kuga has averaged approximately 10,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family vehicle. The gap between the March 2025 test at 29,031 miles and the March 2026 test shows consistent usage of roughly 12,000 miles. However, the rapid deterioration of the brake hardware within this specific interval suggests either heavy driving conditions or a neglect of consumable components that should have been replaced during service intervals. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the recent repairs were executed to professional standards. The recurring issue of pitted and scored discs across both axles suggests the calipers may be sticking or that the brake fluid is contaminated, leading to accelerated wear. You should also check for uneven tyre wear and inspect the condition of related suspension components, as the record confirms a pattern of reacting to mechanical faults only after they trigger an MOT failure.
