2019 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · YP19 GFW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 55,061 miles which returned with zero defects. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has passed five consecutive annual inspections without a failure. While a minor brake issue was noted in 2023, the subsequent clean records suggest that identified mechanical concerns were addressed promptly by the previous owner. The mileage accumulation is remarkably regular, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year which aligns with typical UK usage for a seven-year-old vehicle. The data shows steady progression between tests, with a 9,369-mile interval between February 2024 and 2025, and another 8,940-mile gap between February 2025 and 2026. This consistent usage pattern reduces the likelihood of issues associated with long periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or the degradation of perished rubber seals. A physical inspection should focus primarily on the braking system, as the 2023 test at 22,623 miles flagged thin rear brake pads. Although this was resolved, a buyer should check the current evenness of the pads and inspect the discs for scoring or thinning that might indicate uneven wear. The 2025 test also noted a restriction on the adult seat belt inspection due to a child seat, so the belt tensioning mechanism should be manually tested to ensure it remains fully functional and free of fraying or damage.
