2019 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · WP69 UBE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in July 2025 at 47,848 miles flagged thin rear brake pads, continuing a recurring issue noted in August 2023. While the car consistently passes its inspections, the data suggests the previous owner waits until components reach the limit of wear before replacement rather than addressing them during scheduled service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 22,630 miles and July 2024 at 40,123 miles, the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles, showing a slight increase in usage compared to the earlier years but remaining well below national averages for its age. This low annual mileage generally reduces strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can explain the uneven wear on consumables seen in the MOT records. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The 2024 test noted front brake pads at 3.0mm and worn front discs, while the 2025 test highlighted thin rear pads. It is essential to verify if the front discs have been replaced since then and if they currently show signs of scoring or uneven thinning. Given the recurring nature of these advisories, the inspector should also check for seized calipers or binding brakes that might be causing premature wear of the pads material.
