2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · EO15 VKB

The current roadworthiness status of this Ford Kuga is technically compliant, yet the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward deteriorating mechanical health. While the vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 24 June 2025, the initial failure on the same day highlights significant issues with the anti-lock braking system and rear suspension. The transition from a clean pass in 2024 to multiple failure points in 2025 suggests that the vehicle has entered a period where more intensive component replacement is required to maintain compliance. The recorded mileage of 60,692 over eleven years averages roughly 5,500 miles annually, which is notably low for this model. The data indicates a sharp increase in usage between June 2024 and June 2025, during which the vehicle covered approximately 12,500 miles. This is a significant jump compared to the previous year, where the odometer only advanced by about 5,000 miles. Such a sudden change in usage patterns often accelerates the wear of consumables that may have been neglected during longer periods of inactivity. Prospective buyers must prioritize a physical inspection of the rear coil springs, as the corrosion noted in the 2025 record indicates a potential structural weakness that requires immediate attention. You should also verify that the ABS fault resolved during the 2025 test was a permanent repair rather than a temporary reset, as electronic sensor issues can be symptomatic of deeper wiring harness or hub corrosion. Inspect the headlamp housings for signs of moisture ingress or poor-quality aftermarket bulb installations, which were identified as a failure point. Given the recent spike in mileage, check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or scoring, as the low-mileage history suggests the vehicle may have spent significant time stationary, which often leads to seized calipers or surface rust on braking surfaces.
