2021 Ford Kuga ST-Line X Edition Ecoblue 1.5L Diesel · YP71 AAO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-01 at 39,756 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. However, a failed test on the same date and mileage suggests potential record-keeping inconsistencies, as no defects were noted in either outcome. The prior 2024-09-23 test at 29,647 miles also passed with no issues, confirming a consistent absence of critical faults over the past 12 months. No advisories or structural concerns were flagged, implying the car has maintained acceptable mechanical condition. Mileage progression shows 29,647 miles at 2024-09-23, rising to 39,756 by 2025-12-01—a 10,109-mile increase over 15 months. This aligns with the vehicle’s average annual usage of ~7,951 miles, reflecting typical wear for its age. The gap between tests is reasonable, with no evidence of excessive rapid mileage accumulation. The lack of recurring issues in the MOT history suggests the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance, though no detailed service records are available to confirm this. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and wishbones, for signs of wear given the mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear, as minor brake-related advisories are common in vehicles of this age. The exhaust system and corrosion on underbody panels warrant scrutiny, as these areas are often overlooked in MOT tests. No major structural concerns are indicated, but a pre-purchase inspection should verify the integrity of the chassis and bodywork to rule out hidden damage.
