2009 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · RO09 WMM

The 2026-06-17 test at 124,670 miles was passed, but the MOT history reveals a clear deterioration trend. The vehicle failed twice on the windscreen wiper, nearside rear tyres, and offside rear tyre in the September 2020 test, indicating a consistent pattern of wear that has not been resolved. This suggests the owner has not maintained the vehicle at the required frequency, leading to accelerated failure of these critical components. The mileage accumulation over the past few years, averaging approximately 7,334 miles per year, aligns with the vehicle's age of roughly 17 years. While the initial 2020 and 2021 tests were passed, the gap between the 2020-09-10 and 2021-09-08 dates is significant, suggesting the vehicle may have been stationary or used less in the first half of the decade. The rapid mileage increase since the 2020-09-10 test, which occurred on a single day, indicates a lack of regular maintenance, likely due to the owner having left the car unattended for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear in the September 2020 test, specifically focusing on the brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions. The failure of the windscreen wiper and tyre damage suggests that the suspension and braking systems may have become compromised or that the tyre compounds have worn down to dangerous levels. Given the history of tyre cracking and failure, the suspension bushings and coil springs are likely in poor condition, posing a risk of loss of control if the vehicle is driven in adverse weather conditions.
