A private-source Kuga that starts, with no airbag or structural damage visible. It has only light cosmetic wear on the bumpers and body panels, plus underbody surface rust. This estimate cannot see the interior, the tyre tread depth, the Powershift gearbox behavior or the AWD drivetrain condition. The dash shows 'Dist to empty 0 km', which only means the tank is low.
