2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · WR18 ACZ

The 2018 Ford Kuga stands roadworthy following the 5 September 2025 MOT pass at 79,438 miles, and the maintenance record shows a stable pattern with no mechanical advisories across five annual tests. One anomaly appears in the 4 September 2025 test at 79,436 miles, where the vehicle failed with no defects recorded before passing untouched the next day; this points to a non-mechanical or paperwork issue rather than deterioration. Prior owners have clearly kept the car to a standard that avoided flagged corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects. Registered in 2018, the Kuga now shows 79,438 miles on the odometer, averaging roughly 9,930 miles per year against its eight-year life. The early records trace a modest climb: 47,343 miles on 10 October 2022, 56,040 on 11 October 2023, and 60,802 on 5 September 2024, reflecting light annual use of under 9,000 miles. The final year to September 2025 saw a sharp rise of 18,636 miles, signalling heavier commuting or long trips that accelerate consumable wear. Sparse testing leaves gaps, but the clean sheets imply consistent garaging and prompt servicing. Despite the absence of recorded faults, a buyer must still verify structural integrity and mechanical condition in person. The elevated 2025 mileage demands close inspection of front suspension bushes, rear coil springs, and brake discs for micro-cracking or scoring that a test bay might miss without strip-down. Examine subframe and sills for corrosion, particularly given the Kuga's age, and confirm exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. The earlier low-mileage period may have allowed moisture trapping, so probe chassis legs with a tool before purchase.
