2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · FL15 SVD

The Ford Kuga presents a current roadworthy status following the March 2026 test, where the vehicle passed at 92,821 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the supplied history, with every pass and fail showing a clean sheet of advisories or faults. The March 2026 pass arrived on the same day as a failed attempt at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical defect, a pattern repeated in March 2025 when a fail at 79,998 miles was followed three days later by a pass at the same reading. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 8,438 miles per year for an 11-year-old vehicle, with the records showing 78,489 miles in June 2024, 79,998 miles by March 2025, and 92,821 miles by March 2026. The jump from 79,998 to 92,821 over twelve months reflects around 12,800 miles of use, above the annual average but not extreme for a diesel SUV. The sparse record, with only three test years logged and no advisories across any entry, gives little insight into owner care beyond confirmation that the car cleared each examination without flagged wear to tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT entries record no advisories but do not confirm absence of developing rust on sills or subframes. The twin fail-pass same-day entries in 2025 and 2026 warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to rule out clerical error or mileage discrepancy at the testing station. Given the clean history, focus the viewing on brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and exhaust emissions at cold start. The lack of recorded faults implies basic upkeep was maintained, though the gap between June 2024 and March 2025 leaves nine months unaccounted for in the trail.
