2018 Ford Kuga ST-Line Tdci 1.5L Diesel · TIG 8024

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent recorded data. In the test conducted on 24 August 2022 at 19,213 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories noted. This indicates a clean mechanical report at that point in time, though the lack of subsequent testing over the last four years makes it impossible to establish a contemporary trend of maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. While this suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, there is a significant data gap since the last recorded MOT in August 2022. The vehicle has not undergone a formal annual inspection in four years, meaning the current state of safety critical components remains unverified. This pattern of low use often leads to specific issues with rubber components and fluid systems that degrade through age rather than through mechanical friction. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by long periods of stationary use. Low-mileage cars frequently suffer from seized brake calipers or rusted discs due to lack of use, as well as perished suspension bushes and dry-rott tyres that may crack sidewalls regardless of tread depth. Given the absence of MOT records since 2022, a thorough check of the underbody for corrosion and a verification of the engine system's fluid levels and exhaust integrity are essential to ensure the vehicle remains structurally sound for road use.
