2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · WM19 AAE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend has shifted from a clean record to one showing neglect of basic consumables. The most recent test on February 6, 2026, at 70,779 miles, resulted in a pass but flagged three tyres worn close to the legal limit and a damaged offside front windscreen. This indicates a decline in preventative upkeep compared to previous years. The mileage is typical for a seven year old car, averaging roughly 10,111 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between December 2023 and November 2024, where the odometer rose from 41,689 to 53,828 miles. The record is relatively clean during this period, with no defects noted in the November 2024 or December 2023 tests. The history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The vehicle failed on April 21, 2023, at 33,093 miles due to thin front brake pads and a cut in the nearside rear tyre. While these were resolved immediately for the pass two miles later, the February 2026 advisories for three worn tyres suggest the owner is again waiting for the MOT limit rather than replacing rubber based on wear. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres and the windscreen to determine if replacements are now overdue. Given the previous failure for thin brake pads, the current condition of the braking system should be verified, as the recent test did not explicitly flag them but the overall care pattern is inconsistent. No structural corrosion or suspension issues appear in the record, suggesting the chassis remains sound.
