2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · LP64 ABO

A consistent record of clean MOT passes from 2021 through 2024 has recently shifted toward the depletion of front-end consumables, as evidenced by the pass on 2025-11-25 which flagged several advisories. This transition from a defect-free history to multiple advisories regarding braking and tyre condition indicates that several key wear items are now reaching the end of their operational life. The recorded mileage of 130,085 miles represents a typical annual accumulation of approximately 11,826 miles for a vehicle of this age. This usage profile indicates a vehicle that has been in regular service, which typically results in the progressive wear of drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems rather than the degradation associated with long-term standing. Immediate attention is required for the front braking system and tyre condition. The advisories for thin front brake pads and front tyres worn close to the legal limit, specifically on the edges, necessitate a physical inspection of the tread depth and remaining pad material. During a test drive, listen for high-pitched squealing from the front brakes and monitor for any increased pedal travel or a lack of immediate bite. The mention of tyres being worn on the edges suggests a potential issue with wheel alignment or uneven loading. When inspecting the vehicle, check for irregular wear patterns across the tread of both front tyres. On the road, feel for any steering pull or instability, which would correlate with the edge wear noted in the 2025-11-25 inspection.
