2015 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · KT15 DLN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection in September 2025 at 98,101 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows a shift toward reactive maintenance regarding minor wear-related items. While the 2024 test was clean of defects, the latest record introduced both a non-excessive oil leak and multiple tyre advisories, suggesting the vehicle is beginning to require more frequent attention as it approaches six-figure mileage. At 98,101 miles over eleven years, the Kuga has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle. The records show consistent usage patterns, with a notable 11,300-mile interval between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 3,000-mile gap in the final year. This steady progression suggests the car has not been left to sit for long periods, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite relatively low mileage. A buyer should inspect the engine bay to identify the source of the oil leak flagged in the September 2025 test, although the tester noted it was not excessive. Particular attention is required for the front suspension, following the 2022 failure of a deteriorated offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover. The recurring issue of uneven tyre wear and edge wear, noted in 2022 and 2025, indicates a potential alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that need a professional assessment to prevent premature failure of new tyres.
