2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CF15 OCL

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a history of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While the most recent test recorded in February 2022 at 63,517 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one month prior for multiple critical safety defects. The trend indicates a pattern where the owner only addressed mechanical issues once they triggered a test failure. Given the lack of MOT records for the past four years, the vehicle's current roadworthiness is unverified and potentially non-compliant. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 63,517 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. However, the data reveals a distinct gap in testing, with no recorded tests performed between February 2022 and the current date of June 2026. This suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods or was in in use without legal certification. Low-mile high-age vehicles often suffer from accelerated degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid systems, which are not captured by the mileage figure alone. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering systems. The record specifically flagged worn rear suspension arm bushes and play in the steering rack inner joints during January 2021. These are structural mechanical faults that affect handling and uneven tyre wear. Furthermore, the recurring reports of thin brake pads across both axles in 2020 and 2022 suggest a disregard for basic consumable maintenance. The inspector should check for binding calipers, corroded discs, and the condition of the brake fluid, noting the previous failure for an invisible fluid level.
