2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · PL68 AHV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2 May 2026 at 88,765 miles recording a pass and no recorded defects, indicating an improving maintenance trend after tyre‑wear advisories in earlier tests. Mileage has risen sharply since the first recorded test. The car logged 30,483 miles on 14 January 2022, climbed to 33,006 miles by 25 July 2022 (≈2,500 miles in six months), then jumped to 43,180 miles on 5 July 2023 (≈10,200 miles in twelve months). A further increase to 50,046 miles by 2 February 2024 (≈6,900 miles in seven months) was followed by a steep rise to 70,551 miles on 8 April 2025 (≈20,500 miles in fourteen months) and reached 88,765 miles by May 2026 (≈18,200 miles in thirteen months). At roughly 12,600 miles per year, the usage is high for a seven‑year‑old Kuga, suggesting a driver who relied on the vehicle regularly rather than storing it for long periods. The recurring tyre‑wear advisories merit close visual inspection. The April 2025 test flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit, while the July 2023 test noted slight wear on the off‑side rear tyre and the presence of two nails. A buyer should verify current tread depth, look for uneven wear that could signal mis‑aligned suspension or worn steering components, and confirm that any punctured tyre has been replaced rather than repaired. Checking the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear or corrosion is prudent, as high mileage can accelerate degradation of these load‑bearing parts. Finally, a thorough examination for any rust or structural damage, particularly around wheel arches and under‑body panels, will ensure that no hidden issues have arisen from the vehicle’s intensive use.
