2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · A22 ABJ

The 2015 Ford Kuga shows a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 6 June 2025 at 73,577 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of pre-test failures immediately followed by passes, suggesting last-minute rectification rather than proactive upkeep. Mileage sat at 57,897 miles for the May 2023 pass, rose to 63,279 miles by the 10 May 2024 failure, then 63,349 miles at the pass three days later. By 27 May 2025 the car failed again at 73,565 miles before passing on 6 June at 73,577 miles. Annual use averaged near 6,700 miles, typical for the age. The sparse history with zero advisories across five tests implies either careful record-keeping or minimal formal scrutiny of wear items. The twin failures in May 2024 and May 2025, both with no defects recorded, point to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than logged mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion, since the MOT data offers no visibility of consumable or structural condition between tests. Given the clean recent pass and ordinary mileage, the Kuga presents as a low-risk used purchase from a documentation standpoint. Physical verification of tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers remains advisable before completion, as the record cannot confirm ongoing wear outside the test bay.
