FORD KUGA2015 · 1.5L Petrol

The 2015 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 April 2026 at 87,706 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from October 2025, October 2024, and November 2023 also show clean sheets. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year span, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that clears the annual roadworthiness threshold without flagged wear. Recorded mileage sits at 87,706 against an eleven-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,973 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The test history shows steady annual use: 65,006 miles in November 2023, 72,829 by October 2024, 82,400 by October 2025, and 87,706 by April 2026. A two-day gap between the 28 October 2024 failure and 30 October 2024 pass at near-identical mileages (72,827 and 72,829) suggests a rectification retest rather than a fault-driven gap, though the failure entry lists no defects, pointing to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than mechanical neglect. The absence of recorded advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural corrosion were not flagged by testers at the examined intervals. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the underbody for structural rust and check the front suspension arms and rear trailing bushes, as Kuga platforms of this era commonly develop wear unseen at MOT pass level. Verify the brake caliper operation and disc thickness in person given the clean record offers no early warning of consumable fatigue. The repeated clean passes imply previous owners kept basic upkeep current, with no evidence of skipped tyre or wiper replacement cycles that typically trigger minor advisories. Given the low defect history, the principal risk lies in latent wear not yet at MOT-threshold severity, so a pre-purchase diagnostic on drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions remains prudent before commitment.
