2020 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Eblue 4X4 A 2.0L Diesel · SR70 FPT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 25 November 2025 at 48,567 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive care. The car failed just one day prior to that successful test due to both front and rear brake pads being below the legal 1.5mm limit. While the issue was rectified immediately to secure a pass, it suggests the owner only addresses critical safety components upon inspection failure rather than during scheduled service intervals. The mileage profile is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. This low usage level aligns with typical national averages for a family SUV. The data shows a steady accumulation of miles, moving from 21,722 miles in December 2023 to 33,617 miles in November 2024, and reaching 48,567 miles by late 2025. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods of time. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and tyre condition given previous advisories. The November 2024 test flagged multiple tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear, which often indicates an alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures. Additionally, the nearside rear anti-roll bar drop link was noted with play at that time. A buyer should verify that this component was actually replaced and check the remaining suspension bushes for signs of perished rubber. Given the recent brake failure, checking the remaining thickness of the discs for uneven glazing is also advisable to ensure the replacement work was performed correctly.
