2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · SEE 1Y

The overall roadworthiness status for this 2019 Ford Kuga is poor , as evidenced by the failure of the 2025-03-05 test at 17,889 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening , as the vehicle has failed twice on the MOT cycle, indicating a lack of consistent upkeep or a lack of attention to critical systems. The most recent test on 2026-02-19 at 25,121 miles was passed, but the subsequent failure in March 2025 at 17,889 miles demonstrates a significant drop-off in performance that requires immediate inspection. The mileage profile reveals a rapid accumulation relative to the vehicle's age of approximately seven years. This rapid increase is likely due to the high number of miles recorded (3,589 miles per year) combined with the failure of the front windscreen washer and rear tyres, suggesting that basic maintenance was either skipped or performed inconsistently. The gap between the 2024-02-23 test at 16,561 miles and the 2025-03-05 failure at 17,889 miles highlights a lack of regular servicing, as the vehicle has not maintained its low mileage for a full year. Given the recurring faults in the rear tyres and washer, a buyer must inspect the rear suspension, brake discs, and wheel alignment at the buyer's own expense. The failure of the front windscreen washer and rear tyres indicates that the vehicle has not been properly serviced for at least a year, as these components are critical for safety and driving. The vehicle's structural integrity has been compromised by these wear items, and while the brakes may appear functional, the lack of a full MOT history means that the driver must verify the condition of the engine, exhaust, and exhaust emissions themselves before proceeding with a purchase.
