2021 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · UGZ 7282

The most recent MOT, dated 2 September 2025, was a clean pass at 28,589 miles with no recorded defects. The earlier test on 23 August 2024 also passed without any advisories, indicating that the vehicle has shown no documented mechanical or safety issues over the past two years. Both entries point to a stable condition: no new faults have appeared, and there is no evidence of a worsening trend. With only two MOT records, the pattern is limited but consistently clean, which suggests the car has been maintained well enough to avoid the usual minor failures that often surface at MOT time. At roughly 5 years old and 28,589 miles, the Kuga averages about 5,700 miles per year – well below the typical UK average. Low mileage can mean lighter use, which may reduce wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres and suspension components. Conversely, it can also indicate periods of extended inactivity, which sometimes leads to issues like fluid degradation or surface rust. Because the mileage signal is ambiguous, it is worth treating it as a neutral indicator rather than assuming the car is either pristine or neglected. For a buyer, the priority should be a hands‑on inspection that looks beyond the MOT record: - Check the condition of the tyres for uneven wear or age‑related cracking. - Examine the brakes (pads, discs and pedal feel) for wear, especially since low mileage can mask hidden deterioration.
