2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · AY15 OLW

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a consistent passing record over the last several years. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 119,550 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged an insecure rear heat shield. This minor issue follows two consecutive years of clean passes in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the vehicle has transitioned from a period of minor consumable neglect into a phase of regular, effective upkeep. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,868 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 77,187 miles in June 2021 to 119,550 miles in August 2025. There are no significant gaps in testing or periods of prolonged inactivity, which indicates the car has been in regular use rather than sitting idle. The steady climb in mileage suggests predictable wear on mechanical components such as the drivetrain and suspension systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the underside of the vehicle to address the insecure heat shield noted in the August 2025 test. While this is often a minor fix involving clips or bolts, it is worth verifying that no further exhaust or heat shielding corrosion is present. The 2022 failure regarding tyre wear and sidewall damage indicates that previous owners occasionally overlooked basic consumable maintenance. Consequently, a thorough check of the current tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity, and the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is advisable to ensure no underlying alignment issues exist.
