2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · CK65 KLU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on May 6 2025 at 111,104 miles was a pass, it followed an immediate failure on the same day for critical items. The tester flagged front brake pads below the 1.5mm legal limit and a corroded offside front coil spring, indicating that the owner only addressed essential mechanical components once they threatened the vehicle's MOT status. At 111,104 miles over eleven years, the Ford Kuga averages approximately 10,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family vehicle. There is a significant gap of over 15,000 miles between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests, followed by another 5,400 miles before the May 2025 inspection. This consistent usage suggests regular road miles, but the accumulation of faults in the later tests suggests that wear and tear on consumable items was not being monitored closely between these annual intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2024 record noted worn rear trailing arm bushes and oil misting on the nearside shock absorber, while the 2025 failure highlighted corrosion on coil springs. These recurring suspension-related issues suggest the rubber components and metalwork are aging rapidly. Furthermore, the repeated mentions of worn tyres and sidewall damage in the 2025 test indicate the previous owner neglected tyre condition until they reached the legal limit, necessitating a check of current tread depth and alignment wear across all axles.
