2015 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · EG15 EEF

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 July 2025 at 41,704 miles. The inspection history shows a consistent pattern of immediate rectification following one-day-only failures in both 2024 and 2025. These failures resulted in no recorded defects upon the subsequent passes, suggesting the issues were minor consumable items such as light bulbs or sensor-related adjustments that were addressed before the re-test, rather than systemic mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. Between the July 2023 and July 2025 tests, the Kuga covered 4,207 miles, indicating a steady but low-intensity usage pattern. There are no significant gaps or spikes in the data schedule. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such low mileage on older vehicles sometimes leads to age-related issues like dry rot, perished seals, or fluid degradation if the car has sat for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on rubber-based components that suffer from age rather than distance. Specifically examine the suspension bushes, bushings, and tyre sidewalls for cracking or splitting. Given the low mileage, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized caliper pistons, as infrequent use can prevent the brakes from cleaning the rotor surfaces effectively. Checking the chassis for early-stage surface rust is also advisable to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean mechanical mileage record.
