2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line X Edition 1.5L Petrol · MX72 UMM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful re-test after a mechanical failure. The most recent MOT test on 27 August 2025 at 17,796 miles initially recorded a failure due to rear brake pads measuring only 1.1mm. However, the vehicle passed on the same day with no further defects recorded. This indicates that the owner addressed the safety concern immediately, showing a reactive but functional maintenance trend despite the initial oversight. At 17,796 miles over four years, this Kuga reflects significantly low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,450 miles per year. This low usage profile typically suggests less wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to higher-average vehicles. However, low-mile cars can sometimes suffer from brake corrosion or tyre spotting if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The record remains clean aside from the single brake-related failure noted last year. A buyer should personally inspect the rear braking system to ensure the replacement pads were fitted correctly and have not resulted in uneven glazing or scoring on the discs. Given the low mileage, it is also wise to check for uneven tyre wear or flat spots on the rubber, which can occur on vehicles that travel short distances. Since the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or suspension advisories, the focus remains on verifying that the low-mileage history has not masked neglect of routine fluid changes.
