2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · DC05 AMY

The 2015 Ford Kuga demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its recent MOT history, with the most recent test on 2025-08-08 at 81,439 miles recording a pass and no defects. The prior three tests from 2024-09-12 to 2023-10-03 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2023-09-29 at 74,659 miles—though no defects were recorded—indicates a potential unresolved concern that was subsequently addressed, as the following test showed no issues. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the record implies the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging 7,404 miles annually. The 2023-09-29 test occurred just nine days before the subsequent 2023-10-03 test, with a minimal mileage increase of 9 miles, suggesting a possible administrative or technical error in the failed test. Subsequent tests show steady mileage growth, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation that would indicate neglect. The clean record from 2024 onward reinforces the impression of regular upkeep, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into specific maintenance practices. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but checking for corrosion on brake discs and binding calipers remains prudent. Structural integrity should be verified through a visual inspection for rust or panel damage, as older models like this Kuga are prone to underbody corrosion. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be examined, as these components often degrade over time without clear MOT indicators.
