Our Verdict
This 2019 Ford Kuga diesel presents a ge
When inspecting this Kuga, check the physical service records to verify if the brake pads and tyres noted in the April 2024 MOT have been fully replaced or if further wear has occurred since the April 2025 test. Given that headlamps, tyres, and brake pads are the top failure reasons for this model nationally, closely inspect these areas during your viewing. Negotiate on price if there is any ambiguity regarding the remaining life on the braking system or tyre tread depths.
Fuel economy for the 1.5-litre diesel engine is generally competitive for a compact SUV, helping to keep fuel outlays manageable. Road tax falls into standard UK VED bands for Euro 6 diesel vehicles, and insurance sits within moderate groups typical of a family Ford. Maintenance costs should remain predictable, though standard consumable replacements like tyres and brake pads will dictate annual upkeep alongside routine servicing.
Estimated annual running costs are projected at £1,400-£1,800, factoring in fuel, insurance, road tax, and typical maintenance.
Pay close attention to the items flagged in past MOT tests, specifically the condition of all four tyres and the brake pads on both axles. Although the April 2024 failure for low tread depth (below 1.6mm on the front tyres) and thin brake pads was resolved, ensure the replacements are of good quality. Additionally, inspect the headlamps and electrical systems, as headlamp issues are among the leading causes of MOT failure for this model range.
First registered in April 2019 and finished in white, this 1.5-litre diesel Ford Kuga has covered a remarkably low 28,526 miles by its April 2025 test. Its MOT record shows a failure in April 2024 due to worn tyres and brake pads, which was subsequently rectified before a pass later that same day, followed by a clean pass in 2025. This contrasts with earlier clean tests in 2022 and 2023, reflecting typical wear patterns for a family SUV.
The Ford Kuga demonstrates an aggregate MOT pass rate of 84.0% across the UK fleet, with headlamps, tyres, and brake pads forming the most common failure points.
