Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a pre-purchase inspection before buying this 2015 Ford Kuga diesel. The high mileage and multiple worn suspension bushes noted in recent MOTs suggest upcoming maintenance costs, though it has a clean pass record with no failures.
Given the 2026 MOT advisory for worn suspension bushes at all four corners and an oil leak, budget for suspension refresh work and have a mechanic confirm the source and severity of the leak before purchase. The 2024 MOT also noted rear trailing arm bush wear, so this is a progressive pattern rather than a one-off. Negotiate on price to reflect the likelihood of bush replacement and general wear at 123,000 miles.
As a 2015 2.0 litre diesel Kuga, this vehicle will fall into a higher VED band than smaller petrols, though exact band is not provided in the data; diesel fuel costs remain lower per mile than petrol for high-mileage use. Insurance group is not stated, but large diesel SUVs typically sit in mid-to-high groups. Maintenance at this mileage should include suspension bushes, brake discs (rear discs were worn in 2023), and monitoring of the oil leak.
Inspect all four suspension arm and anti-roll bar bushes noted in the January 2026 MOT — near and offside front lower arms and rear anti-roll bars were flagged as worn but not excessive; these will need replacement soon. Check the engine and underside for the oil leak recorded in 2026 to determine if it is a simple seal or a more serious issue. The 2023 MOT showed rear brake disc wear and 2022 noted rear tyre perishing, so examine brakes and tyres thoroughly.
This white 2015 Ford Kuga 2.0 litre diesel (registration JRZ6018) has covered 123,397 miles as of its January 2026 MOT, which is high for an 11-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows consistent annual passes with no failures, but the 2026 test flagged worn suspension arm and anti-roll bar bushes all round plus a non-excessive oil leak. Model reliability data is not available, so assessment is based solely on this vehicle's recorded history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Ford Kuga, so this assessment relies only on the individual vehicle's history provided.
