2018 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · PL18 TOH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 April 2026 with 57,183 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of neglect in 2024. While the latest test resulted in a minor failure due to insufficient windscreen washer fluid flow, the lack of any defects in the subsequent pass indicates that the owner addressed the previous mechanical and safety concerns identified in earlier tests. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 57,183 miles represents an average of approximately 7,148 miles per year. This usage is consistent with typical UK consumer patterns and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive long-distance stress. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 6,500 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,974 miles covered between April 2025 and April 2026. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and tyre condition, given the April 2024 failures. The tester flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs, which should have been replaced; a buyer should verify the remaining pad thickness and check for scoring or pitting on the rotors. Furthermore, the 2024 failure noted a structural tear in the nearside rear tyre and perishing on the offside rear tyre. The buyer must inspect all tyres for sidewall cracking or uneven wear, as the low mileage can sometimes mask rubber degradation despite adequate tread depth.
