2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · LK15 AAZ

This 2015 Ford Kuga has demonstrated consistent MOT compliance over its most recent five annual tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The February 2026 test at 74,974 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of any recorded issues—even minor—does not preclude hidden wear. The trend is stable, with no evidence of recurring faults or escalating concerns in the official record. Still, the lack of advisories or defects in prior tests suggests either meticulous maintenance or deferred upkeep; the latter cannot be ruled out without further inspection. The mileage progression of approximately 4,000 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the intervals between tests are unusually regular—each spanning exactly 12 months. No gaps exceed 14 months, and there’s no sudden spike in mileage that would indicate aggressive driving. The consistency implies either disciplined servicing or a history of neglect masked by passing MOTs. Notably, the February 2026 test occurred just five months ago, meaning the vehicle has not yet reached its next mandatory inspection. This recent pass provides a baseline, but wear on high-usage components—such as suspension bushes, brake calipers, and drivetrain seals—could have developed since then. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common failure points in this model. Binding brakes or uneven tyre wear would indicate neglected servicing, so calipers, discs, and wheel bearings warrant close examination. Corrosion around wheel arches and sills, while not yet flagged, should be checked, especially if the vehicle has spent time in wet or salted environments. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, and a pre-purchase inspection would reveal any deferred maintenance risks.
