2018 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · PF18 ACZ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 12 May 2025 at 43,548 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,444 miles per year. Between May 2024 and May 2025, the odometer increased by 8,069 miles, which is a slight uptick compared to the 4,839 mile increase seen between May 2023 and May 2024. The record shows a brief failure on 26 May 2023 at 30,316 miles, though the vehicle passed four days later at 30,370 miles. The lack of recorded defects during that failure is unusual and may point to a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, there are no specific recurring faults like suspension bush wear or brake disc corrosion to flag. However, the low annual mileage increases the risk of components degrading due to inactivity. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots and check for any signs of brake caliper binding, which can occur when a vehicle spends long periods standing. The absence of advisories over the last four years suggests a diligent approach to basic upkeep. I recommend a manual check of the fluid levels and a test drive to ensure the engine and gearbox operate smoothly, as the MOT record alone does not capture the internal health of the drivetrain or the service history of the timing belt and oil.
