2020 Ford Kuga Titanium Ecoblue 4X4 Auto 2.0L Diesel · OV70 EWH

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 February 2026 at 48,808 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable and reactive, as faults identified in previous tests were addressed immediately. The clean sheet on the latest two tests suggests that the current owner is responsive to testing requirements and maintains the vehicle to operational standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 11,600 miles between December 2023 and February 2025, followed by roughly 7,000 miles in the sixteen months leading up to the February 2026 test. This relatively low annual usage generally implies less mechanical strain on the 4x4 drivetrain, automatic transmission, and suspension-related components compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. A buyer should focus specifically on the exhaust system given the failure in February 2025 at 43,529 miles where emissions exceeded manufacturer limits. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, an inspection of the diesel particulate filter condition or oxygen sensor health is advisable to ensure the engine is not trending toward another failure. The previous failure of the nearside repeater in late 2023 was a minor electrical issue, but a quick check of all external lighting and indicators remains standard practice to ensure no new wiring faults have emerged.
