2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · JR09 ELS

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT on 6 June 2025 at 69,792 miles resulting in a clear pass. This record reflects a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has successfully cleared its last three annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. While the 2023 and 2024 tests initially registered as failures, these appear to be administrative anomalies or immediate rectifications rather than mechanical failures, given that the vehicle passed on the exact same day in both instances. The current mileage of 69,792 over an eleven-year lifespan averages approximately 6,345 miles per annum, which is well within the expected range for a vehicle of this type. The steady accumulation of miles suggests consistent, light usage rather than long periods of inactivity or high-intensity motorway work. This pattern typically reduces the likelihood of premature fatigue in drivetrain components, though it does not eliminate the natural degradation of rubberised parts and seals that occurs simply through the passage of time. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that often escape the scope of a basic MOT test. Given the age of the Kuga, check the condition of the suspension bushes, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar links for signs of perishing or play, as these are common wear items that may not have triggered a failure yet. Inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of surface corrosion or uneven wear, particularly if the car has spent extended periods parked. Finally, verify the service history for evidence of routine fluid changes and timing belt replacement, as the MOT record confirms structural and safety compliance but provides no insight into the internal health of the engine or transmission.
