2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EF15 FVJ

The 2015 Ford Kuga's roadworthiness status appears stable based on the most recent MOT test on 2025-06-11 at 62,231 miles, where it passed with several advisories. However, the preceding test on 2025-06-10 at 62,228 miles resulted in a failure due to a cut in the nearside rear tyre, indicating some inconsistency in maintenance. The vehicle has had a recent history of advisories for tyre wear, brake pad wear, and low brake fluid levels. The recorded mileage of 62,231 miles over 11 years suggests relatively low usage, averaging approximately 5,657 miles per year. There is a notable gap in detailed test records between 2023-06-16 and 2024-06-05, with only a few entries provided over the vehicle's age. The mileage accumulation rate appears steady, with no rapid changes noted between test dates. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's tyres in person, given the recurring advisories for tyre wear close to the legal limit and uneven wear patterns. Additionally, the brake system should be thoroughly checked, as brake pad wear and low brake fluid levels have been consistent issues. The presence of an oil leak, although not excessive in the most recent tests, also warrants attention to ensure it has not worsened. The vehicle's suspension, particularly the shock absorbers, which showed light misting of oil in the 2023 test, should also be examined for any signs of wear or damage. The vehicle's under tray not being fully secure in the 2023 test is a minor issue that can be easily addressed. Overall, while the vehicle has had some recurring faults, they appear to be primarily related to maintenance rather than structural or mechanical failures. A thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic is still recommended to assess the vehicle's current condition and address any potential issues before purchase.
