2019 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · N800 AHG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 with 83,246 miles and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care, as the owner typically addresses faults only after a failure or when components reach critical limits. While the latest test is clean, the history of multiple failure points in early 2025 indicates that the vehicle was operated with sub-standard equipment prior to that inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,900 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 35,532 miles and March 2025 at 73,035 miles, the car covered roughly 37,000 miles in three years, representing steady annual use. The gap of 10,211 miles between the last two tests suggests the vehicle remains in regular daily service, which places expected stress on wear items and mechanical components. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and alignment specifically, as the record shows recurring uneven tyre wear. In 2022 and 2025, tyres were flagged for being worn to the limit or on the edges, which often points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The front inner brake pads were also noted as wearing thin in early 2022, so the current state of the friction material and discs requires physical verification to ensure they have been properly replaced since that interval. The 2025 failure for an offside front tyre with exposed cords highlights a significant safety risk that was only rectified recently. While the vehicle has since passed without advisories, the buyer must check all remaining tyres for similar structural damage and ensure the nearside side repeater remains fully functional. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or exhaust issues in the record, but the history of minor-related failures suggests the owner focuses on the minimum requirements to pass the test.
