2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · BG65 KMY

The 2015 Ford Kuga presents a broadly stable maintenance trend, passing its most recent MOT on 15 October 2025 at 86,217 miles with only minor advisories. The tester flagged a defective front wiper blade smearing the screen, a deteriorated registration plate, and front brake pads wearing thin. These are low-level consumable items rather than structural or mechanical failures. The pattern across the record shows no escalating faults, no corrosion-related rejections, and no recurring dangerous defects, indicating the vehicle has been kept in reasonable roadworthy condition. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Between the May 2022 test at 66,485 miles and the June 2023 test at 74,775 miles, the car covered 8,290 miles in just over twelve months. The subsequent jump to 80,332 miles by October 2024 represents 5,557 miles over thirteen months, and the final reading of 86,217 miles by October 2025 shows 5,885 miles in twelve months. This equates to roughly 7,800 miles per year, a typical figure for steady daily use. No suspicious gaps or sudden spikes appear in the record, and the odometer readings advance logically with no evidence of rollback. The recurring theme across multiple tests is brake and tyre wear concentrated at the rear axle. Rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in both October 2024 and June 2023, with a rear brake disc also noted as worn during the 2023 test. Rear tyres repeatedly appeared on the edge of the legal limit, with all four tyres flagged in June 2023 at between 2mm and 2.7mm of tread depth. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear brake calipers for any tendency to bind, check the condition and thickness of the rear discs, and verify whether the rear tyre wear is even or indicative of tracking or suspension geometry issues. The deteriorated rear registration plate, noted across three consecutive tests, is trivial but worth replacing for compliance. Beyond these items, the clean May 2022 test with zero defects and the absence of any suspension, steering, or structural corrosion advisories throughout the record suggest the underlying mechanical integrity remains sound.
