2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CK15 ACX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at its most recent test. The May 2025 inspection at 97,451 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that previous issues were successfully rectified. While the record shows two failures in March 2023 and May 2025, the lack of specific defect descriptions for these failures makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact mechanical cause, though the subsequent passes suggest the vehicle has been brought back to a compliant standard. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,859 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 55,851 miles in March 2023 to 73,179 miles in April 2024, and finally reaching 97,451 miles by May 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which helps prevent issues like seized calipers or perished rubber components. Since the MOT history does not detail the specific reasons for the failures in 2023 and 2025, a physical inspection is necessary to confirm the current condition of wear-prone components. You should specifically examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often trigger failures on vehicles of this age and mileage. Given the mileage has now approached the 100,000-mile mark, check for any signs of oil leaks from the engine or gearbox and inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or heavy corrosion. The absence of advisories in the most recent test is a positive indicator for the vehicle's current roadworthiness. However, the recurring nature of the failures suggests that while the vehicle is being maintained, it may require periodic attention to address consumable items. Focus your inspection on the underside of the chassis to check for structural corrosion and ensure the exhaust system remains secure and free of leaks.
