2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FE65 VOF

A consistent track record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle, with the most recent test on 07 October 2025 showing no defects. While the history is largely free of failures, a single advisory regarding the offside rear trailing arm bush was noted during the 02 October 2024 inspection. This indicates that while the vehicle has maintained a stable level of roadworthiness over the recorded period, there is a specific point of wear in the rear suspension assembly that has been identified by examiners. The recorded mileage of 86,911 miles over an eleven-year period represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,901 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical long-term driving habits for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while major drivetrain components may not have reached extreme wear thresholds, consumable items such as suspension bushings, brake discs, and various rubber seals will have undergone standard aging and cyclical stress. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the rear suspension performance during a test drive, specifically addressing the advisory for the offside rear suspension arm pin or trailing arm bush recorded in 2024. Although the 2025 test showed no further defects, the previous identification of a worn bush warrants a physical check for any signs of degradation. During operation, listen for dull knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, and feel for any lateral instability or shimmying from the rear of the vehicle during cornering or under braking. Beyond the suspension, the lack of recorded failures or advisories regarding structural integrity, such as subframe corrosion or exhaust emissions, suggests the vehicle has met the required standards for these categories throughout its testing history. However, given the age and mileage, a thorough visual inspection of the underside for any new signs of oil misting or fluid leaks around the engine and gearbox is advisable to ensure no new issues have developed since the last recorded inspection.
