2018 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · SY68 GGU

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-01 showed both rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. This mirrors a similar defect recorded in 2022-12-09, though the 2025 entry indicates no immediate safety risk. However, repeated brake disc wear suggests potential for future replacement, especially if the vehicle’s usage involves frequent braking or heavy loads. A recurring pattern of suspension component wear is evident. The 2024-12-06 MOT noted slightly worn trailing arm bushes on both rear suspension arms, while earlier entries from 2022-12-09 mentioned worn front suspension arm bushes. These issues were classified as "not resulting in excessive movement," but their persistence over multiple years may indicate gradual degradation of bushings, which could affect handling or ride quality if left unaddressed. The vehicle’s mileage of 49,052 miles over 8 years aligns with an average of 6,132 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests neither extreme under-use nor heavy wear from high mileage. However, the absence of major defects in the 2023-12-08 MOT (the only clean result) implies a temporary period of stability, followed by renewed signs of wear in subsequent years. The trend of minor defects appears stable rather than worsening.
