2015 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · EF15 FSN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, as evidenced by a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 82,287 miles. This result indicates an improving trend in maintenance discipline compared to previous years where multiple failures required immediate attention to achieve compliance. While the history shows a pattern of reactive repairs, the most recent test suggests that the current owner has addressed the mechanical and electrical issues previously identified in prior inspections. At 11 years old with 82,287 miles, the Kuga averages approximately 7,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family SUV. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 12,700 miles covered in the following year. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and fluid systems. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and suspension due to recurring reports of wear. The February 2024 failure highlighted thin brake pads on both axles, while the February 2025 test flagged worn brake discs across all four wheels. Although these were likely replaced following the subsequent pass, a buyer should verify there is no uneven binding or excessive vibration indicating poor new components. Additionally, the light misting on the rear shock absorbers noted in 2024 should be rechecked to ensure the seals have not deteriorated into a full leak requiring replacement. The electrical history also shows previous issues with position lamps and the tyre pressure monitoring system. While these were cleared in the 2025 retest, the buyer should test all exterior lighting circuits and the TPMS dashboard functionality to ensure no intermittent faults remain. The absence of structural corrosion advisories in the record is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age, but a standard check of the sills and mounting points remains necessary for any Ford of this era.
