2018 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · TC04 BOY

The 2018 Ford Kuga presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 43,525 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has been maintained to at least minimum statutory standards throughout. Annual mileage averages 5,441 miles against an eight-year life, marking this Kuga as low-use for its age. The records show steady, linear accumulation: 13,712 miles at the 9 October 2021 test, 20,300 by 21 October 2022, 26,821 on 25 October 2023, 33,769 on 16 October 2024, and 43,525 by October 2025. No abrupt jumps or dormant gaps exist between tests. The consistent low figures suggest light commuting or seasonal use rather than neglected storage, though prolonged standing can still degrade tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes without triggering an MOT fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless record. Low mileage combined with age means rubber components such as suspension bushes, drop links, and tyres may show perishing from time rather than wear. The tester logged no corrosion, but structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants a visual check for road salt damage. Brake discs and calipers deserve measurement for lip wear and seizure, since light use allows surface rust to build on dormant rotors. The clean history implies conscientious previous ownership, yet the absence of advisories offers no insight into remaining consumable life on a seven-year-old vehicle.
