2018 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · WO04 MAD

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend across its inspection history. The most recent test conducted on 14 August 2025 at 36,556 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This string of clean passes over the last five years indicates that the vehicle has been well-maintained and avoids the common mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger MOT re. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,570 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 18,595 miles and August 2024 at 33,458 miles, the car covered roughly 15,000 miles. This consistent low usage suggests light operational stress which generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components. However, low-mileage patterns can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a buyer should physically inspect specific areas often affected by low-mileage use. It is essential to check the suspension bushes and shock dampers for cracking or perished rubber, as these can age regardless of distance driven. The brake discs should also be examined for surface pitting or rust, as infrequent use often fails to clear oxidation from the metal rotors effectively. Additionally, verifying the tyres for sidewall cracking is necessary, as age often outlasts tread depth on vehicles that have not seen significant road time.
