Cars mileage today was 79263 miles
See an earlier post where I originally replaced the discs and pads with Ford OE items from a Ford dealer on ebay

Old oe pads lasted 35000 miles
Discs were fine, so only pads needed replacing
Note, that these are Brembo pads, not Ford OE but are supposedly of a better than OE spec
Old vs New
Locking nuts replacement
Ford OE had rusted.
Have used McGard before and they are the locking nuts guru's
£37
Wheel nuts replacement
The Ford OE wheel nuts are 2 piece with a stainless cap and steel body. These quite quickly degrade and the cap falls off, leaving a rust head (that isnt the OE head size)
The Kuga forums provided a great alternative. Get full stainless steel wheel bolts that include a stainless washer
