2015 Ford Kuga Zetec Tdci 2.0L Diesel · WFZ 3011

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with four consecutive MOT passes recording no defects or advisories. This trend of stability extends through the most recent inspection on 24 January 2026, indicating that the vehicle has met the minimum legal safety and environmental standards without requiring corrective work for several years. The recorded mileage of 142,861 miles is high for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,987 miles per annum. Such a usage profile typically results in accelerated wear on high-stress components, including suspension bushings, engine mounts, and drivetrain linkages. While the MOT history shows no failures, the cumulative mileage suggests the vehicle is further along in its lifecycle regarding the natural degradation of mechanical consumables. Despite the absence of recorded defects, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the suspension linkages and steering rack for any play that may not have yet reached the threshold for an MOT failure. During a test drive, listen for knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn bushings or coil spring fatigue. The drivetrain and braking systems should be evaluated for performance consistency. A test drive should include checking for any shuddering under heavy braking or a spongy pedal feel, as well as monitoring for gear synchronisation issues or clutch slip under load. Given the high mileage of the TDCI engine, observe the exhaust emissions for excessive smoke and listen for any abnormal engine noise or vibrations that could signal internal wear not captured by a stationary emissions test.
