2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · MX69 UFR

The 2019 Ford Kuga passed its most recent MOT on 3 February 2026 at 80,390 miles, but the maintenance trend is not reassuring. The tester flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and noted an oil leak on the undertray. These are fresh issues at the current mileage, suggesting the car has recently been driven hard or neglected between services. The record shows a pattern of recurring brake and tyre wear rather than a clean bill of health, and the oil leak is a new concern that warrants immediate investigation. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,484 miles per year. The gap between the January 2024 test at 52,932 miles and the February 2026 test at 80,390 miles represents 27,458 miles in just over two years, which is a noticeable acceleration compared to the earlier years. The MOT history itself is sparse, with no recorded tests between January 2024 and February 2026, leaving a gap of over two years where no independent roadworthiness assessment was documented. That absence makes it difficult to confirm whether the oil leak or tyre wear developed gradually or suddenly. Buyers should inspect the underside carefully for the source of the oil leak flagged in February 2026, paying close attention to the undertray, sump, and rocker cover gaskets. The rear brake discs have a documented history of wear and scoring, first noted in December 2022 and again in January 2024, so a thorough check of disc thickness, lip corrosion, and caliper function is essential. The repeated advisories on front tyre wear, appearing in both February 2025 and February 2026, point to possible alignment issues or suspension bush degradation that has not been addressed. A full four-wheel geometry check and inspection of front suspension components, including track rod ends and wishbone bushes, would be prudent before purchase.
