2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · PW07 MCW

The 2018 Ford Kuga holds a fully roadworthy status as confirmed at the latest DVSA test on 5 March 2026 at 68,664 miles, where the examiner recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the five consecutive annual examinations from March 2022 to March 2026, each returning a pass with zero advisories. Such consistency indicates the prior keepers maintained the vehicle to the minimum legal standard or better. Registered in 2018, the Kuga shows 68,664 miles on the clock, averaging 8,583 miles per year against its eight-year lifespan. The record charts steady accumulation: 35,995 miles at the 14 March 2022 test, 42,507 miles by 9 March 2023, 50,725 miles on 14 March 2024, 58,631 miles at 4 March 2025, and 68,664 miles on 5 March 2026. No gaps or sudden mileage spikes appear. The clean sweep of passes with no minor items like tyre tread or wiper blades flagged suggests the owners attended to consumables before each test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and mileage. The tester noted no binding rear calipers or structural corrosion, yet early subframe rust can evade detection in a brief examination. Check exhaust emissions during a cold start and scrutinise underbody for corrosion. The unbroken pass history implies previous keepers resolved faults pre-test rather than deferring maintenance, a positive care pattern.
