2020 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · RB60 DLB

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-22 recorded four tyres worn close to the legal limit, all on the same date and mileage (36,557 miles). This is the first time tyre wear has been flagged in the history, despite the vehicle’s mileage being typical for its age (around 6,093 miles per year). The 2024-08-12 MOT included a failure for front and rear brake pads, but these were resolved by 2025, as no brake issues were mentioned in the latest pass. A recurring pattern of brake pad wear was noted in 2023 and 2024, suggesting potential neglect or heavy usage. However, the 2025 MOT shows no brake-related defects, indicating repairs may have been made. The tyre wear in 2025, however, represents a new concern. While the vehicle’s mileage is average, the simultaneous wear on all four tyres could signal uneven tread loss, alignment issues, or a lack of regular maintenance. The trend for brake components appears to have stabilized, with no further issues since 2024. Tyre wear, though, is a growing risk, as all four tyres were near the legal limit in the most recent test. This may reflect either prolonged use without replacement or improper inflation/alignment.
