2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FD64 FYJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend toward improving maintenance standards. The most recent MOT test conducted in January 2024 at 121,971 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that previous minor electrical issues have been successfully addressed. This follows a failure in February 2023 regarding position lamps and incorrect headlamp alignment, which were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass. The recorded mileage of 121,971 miles over 11 years reflects an average usage of approximately 11,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,400 miles covered between the February 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 4,700 miles recorded before the January 2024 inspection. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than being left stationary for long periods of time. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front suspension components. The February 2022 test at 112,812 miles flagged thin brake pads on both the nearside front and offside rear axles. While these were likely replaced since, the high mileage warrants a check for uneven pad wear or any signs of caliper sticking or binding. Given the mileage, a thorough examination of the suspension bushes and coil spring integrity is also advisable, as these components are common points of wear on this model as they exceed the 100,000-mile threshold.
