2020 Ford Kuga ST-Line X First Edition 1.5L Petrol · OV70 EWD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a maintenance trend that appears stable despite recurring minor consumable issues. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 32,129 miles passed with no failures, though the tester noted shallow cuts on both the nearside and offside rear tyres. These defects did not reach the structural cords but indicate a consistent history of minor impact damage to the rubber over the previous years. At six years of age, the recorded mileage of 32,129 miles represents an average of approximately 5,355 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a SUV. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 2,000 miles driven between the September 2023 and 2024 tests, and a similar interval before the final inspection. This low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, though it can occasionally lead to component degradation if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The records from 2023 and 2024 both flagged the rear brake discs as pitted or scored. While these did not cause a failure, the recurrence suggests the discs may be prone to corrosion, likely due to the low-frequency use of the brakes. Verify the current thickness of the brake pads and check for even wear on the rotors. Furthermore, the cuts noted on the rear tyres in 2025 should be monitored to ensure the sidewall integrity has not been compromised over time.
