2020 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · YM69 MVK

The most recent MOT on 27 June 2025 shows the Kuga passing at 24,997 mi, but the same day a failure was recorded at 24,995 mi for a nearside direction indicator fault and an inoperative engine MIL (malfunction indicator lamp). The pass indicates those two items were remedied before the test was completed, so the car now meets the legal standards. Across the six‑year life of the vehicle the MOT record is largely clean. The only other noted issue was a tyre‑wear warning on 3 January 2023 (off‑side front tyre close to the legal limit). No further defects have been logged in the 2024 and 2025 passes, suggesting that, after the 2025 repair, the vehicle’s condition is stable rather than deteriorating. Mileage is very low for a 2020 model – about 4,200 mi per year. This could mean the car has been lightly driven, which generally reduces wear on engine, transmission, suspension and brake components. Conversely, low annual mileage can also indicate long periods of inactivity, which may lead to ageing of rubber parts (tyres, hoses, bushings) and possible moisture accumulation in electrical systems. The record does not show any pattern of high‑wear items, so the low mileage is more likely a sign of light use than of hidden abuse. Overall, the trend appears to be improving: the only failure was corrected and the vehicle has passed its most recent test without any new defects.
