2018 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · YY18 OWK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in August 2025, indicating it was legally roadworthy at that time. The maintenance trend shows improvement following a significant failure in August 2024, where binding front brake pads and structurally compromised rear tyres were rectified prior to the passing test. Earlier failures in 2023 involved front tyre tread depth and a windscreen wiper, representing consumable wear. No structural corrosion or major suspension defects have been recorded across the history. Mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for the vehicle's age. The recorded mileage increased from 35,912 miles in August 2023 to 44,781 miles in August 2024, and then to 54,264 miles in August 2025. This represents an average annual increase of approximately 9,000 miles over the last two years, which is within normal parameters for a vehicle of this age and type. There are no anomalous gaps in the testing sequence, suggesting regular use and compliance with the annual testing requirement. A buyer must prioritise a detailed in-person inspection of the rear tyres for any signs of bulging, separation, or uneven wear, as the MOT history documents a previous complete structural failure of both rear tyres. The front brake system warrants close examination, particularly the pad thickness and for any signs of binding or uneven wear, given the previous advisory for thin pads on both sides. Furthermore, the rear seat adult belt anchorage points should be physically checked for accessibility and integrity, as the persistent advisories regarding fitted child seats preventing full inspection may indicate an underlying obstruction or damage to the belt mounting or webbing.
