2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · J2 LFH

The 2015 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy following a pass at 137,967 miles on 9 April 2026, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came two days after a failure on 7 April 2026 at 137,905 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating the car was likely presented with an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly at each annual examination back to April 2023. Mileage stands at 137,967 against an eleven-year lifespan, equating to roughly 12,542 miles per year and placing this Kuga above average use for its age. The records show steady annual accumulation: 97,385 miles in April 2023, 110,974 in April 2024, 123,710 in March 2025, and 137,905 by April 2026. No standing periods or abrupt gaps appear. The high yearly distance implies heavier cycling of consumables and greater load on suspension bushes, drivetrain joints, and brake discs than a lower-mileage example would show. The DVSA data flags no advisories or recurring mechanical defects across the five tests, so no worsening corrosion, binding calipers, or worn coil springs are evidenced on paper. A clean sheet at this mileage is unusual and suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. The April 2026 fail with zero defects recorded remains unexplained by the dataset and warrants confirmation the vehicle was not subject to a withdrawn test or data error. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity, underside corrosion, and suspension compliance given the high mileage. Verify the actual condition of tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions at point of sale, and clarify the nature of the 7 April 2026 failure with the selling garage before completion.
