2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Diesel · YS18 AAU

The 2018 Ford Kuga remains roadworthy with no critical defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-06-09 at 58,846 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No advisories or failures suggest the vehicle has been consistently maintained to meet legal standards. The absence of recurring faults implies the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though no major mechanical interventions are documented. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage, averaging 7,356 miles per year over eight years. Tests spaced approximately 12 months apart show steady accumulation, with no prolonged gaps or sudden spikes. The 2021-04-29 test at 25,908 miles to the 2025-06-09 test at 58,846 miles reflects a gradual increase, avoiding red flags associated with excessive wear. The clean MOT history suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy or irregular use, though this does not confirm long-term reliability beyond documented checks. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which often degrade with age. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear, as these can develop without visible MOT failures. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked, as hidden rust or fractures may not appear in routine tests. While the MOT record shows no immediate risks, these areas are critical for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
