AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2015 Ford Kuga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 June 2026 at 54,902 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean annual examinations since at least 2022. The mileage pattern shows consistently low use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. From the 24 June 2022 test at 34,934 miles to the 1 June 2026 test at 54,902 miles, the Kuga covered just 19,968 miles across four years, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. Each interval added between 4,000 and 6,000 miles, with no gaps exceeding thirteen months or any sudden accumulation suggesting hard commercial use. The DVSA record is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or brake defects across the documented period. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low annual mileage often means prolonged standing, which accelerates perishable component degradation not always visible in a pass result. Check the condition of brake discs for surface pitting from disuse, inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking, and verify the exhaust system for internal corrosion. The absence of recorded faults implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though no evidence exists of proactive mechanical investment beyond minimum test requirements. Given the clean history, focus the viewing on tyre sidewall condition, underbody structural integrity, and binding calipers that a stationary regime can conceal.

Our Verdict

Recommended for its clean MOT history and below-average mileage for a 2015 model.

Prioritise verifying service history to confirm consistent maintenance, as the MOT records alone do not show repair activity. Negotiate based on the low mileage, which is 25% below the 70,000-mile average for 2015 models. Inspect for common Kuga issues like timing chain tensioner problems or turbocharger wear, even though no MOT failures indicate these have not yet manifested. Check for rust in the UK's damp climate, particularly around wheel arches and underbody panels.

Diesel tax for this 2015 model is £155 annually. Insurance groups for Kugas typically range from 15-20, resulting in annual premiums of £600-£900. Fuel economy averages 45-50 mpg on the motorway, with typical maintenance costs of £300-£500 every 30,000 miles. Estimated annual running cost: £1,000-£1,200 including tax, insurance, and routine servicing.

Despite clean MOTs, inspect the diesel particulate filter (DPF) for clogging through a smoke test. Check for oil leaks around the turbocharger and examine the timing chain tensioner for wear. Review the suspension for excessive play and test the all-wheel-drive system if equipped. Confirm the vehicle has not been involved in any accidents using the VIN check, as MOT records do not show structural damage.

This 2015 Ford Kuga has maintained a clean MOT record with no defects across six consecutive annual tests, covering 54,902 miles. Its mileage is significantly below the typical 70,000-80,000 miles expected for an 11-year-old vehicle. While no aggregate reliability data exists for the Kuga model, the absence of MOT failures suggests good maintenance. The red diesel variant with 1997cc engine is a common specification for this era.

No aggregate data available for FORD KUGA, but this individual vehicle shows no MOT failures suggesting above-average maintenance standards.
