2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · SX19 FJC

The Ford Kuga presents a clean roadworthiness record. The most recent test on 14 February 2026 at 70,353 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, continuing a pattern of unblemished annual passes stretching back to January 2022. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no indication of emerging mechanical or structural issues flagged by the tester. Mileage accumulation has been consistent with the vehicle’s age, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year over the seven-year span. The first recorded test on 17 January 2022 showed 27,409 miles; by 13 February 2024 the odometer read 41,864 miles. A noticeable increase appears in the latest interval, where the jump from 56,946 miles on 12 February 2025 to 70,353 miles on 14 February 2026 represents over 13,000 miles in twelve months, suggesting a period of heavier use. Annual test intervals have been kept regular, with no gaps that would indicate extended lay-up. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection despite the clean MOT history. The absence of recorded brake binding, suspension play, or corrosion advisories does not guarantee those components are pristine; it only confirms they met the minimum standard on the test days. Check the front and rear brake discs for lip wear and pad thickness, examine suspension bushes and ball joints for perishing or excessive movement, and inspect the underbody for early signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the rear axle mounts and sills. Verify the timing belt or wet-belt service history, as the 1.5 EcoBoost engine typically requires attention around this mileage, and confirm the DPF has not been subjected to frequent short-trip cycles that could cause soot loading. Tyre tread depths and date codes should be assessed, as the MOT does not record age-related degradation.
