2015 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · T123 AAH

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 4 March 2026, passing at 55,302 miles, though the tester flagged front brake discs worn and front pads approaching thinness. Earlier, rear brake discs and pads were noted as thin in the March 2023 test, indicating a consistent pattern of brake wear but no evidence of progressive failure; tyre wear alerts that appeared in February 2024 have not recurred, suggesting the issue was addressed. Overall the maintenance trend appears stable, with consumable components reaching expected service intervals but no escalating structural defects. Mileage averages roughly 5,000 miles per year across the eleven‑year lifespan, well below the typical usage for a vehicle of this age. A notable increase occurred between February 2024 (36,246 miles) and March 2025 (47,197 miles), reflecting a period of higher usage, yet the subsequent rise to 55,302 miles by March 2026 indicates a return to lower annual mileage. No large gaps in testing are evident; the record shows regular annual MOTs, and the low cumulative mileage suggests light overall wear. A prospective buyer should examine the front braking system closely, checking disc thickness, pad wear, and caliper operation for any binding. Inspect all tyres for sidewall integrity, especially the front edges, and verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system functions correctly. Confirm that any previous nail punctures have been fully repaired and that wheel alignment is sound to prevent repeat damage. A visual inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and rear brake disc for corrosion will further ensure that no hidden deterioration compromises safety.
