2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · MD15 XMM

This 2015 Ford Kuga has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 5 December 2025. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent, if not exemplary, maintenance over its lifetime. The most recent test, just eight months ago, confirms no immediate concerns with emissions, structural integrity, or critical systems. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude the need for a thorough inspection of high-wear components, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 56,512 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of around 5,137 miles per annum, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The most notable gap in mileage accumulation occurs between the October 2021 and October 2022 tests, where the vehicle appears to have remained stationary for nearly a year, accumulating no additional miles. This prolonged inactivity could indicate storage without regular use, potentially leading to issues such as flat spots on tyres, degraded fluids, or minor corrosion from exposure. Conversely, the steady low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive wear on suspension bushes, brake calipers, or drivetrain components. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these components degrade predictably over time regardless of mileage. The brakes, including rear binding calipers and front disc wear, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle was stored for extended periods. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be examined closely, as the absence of advisories in prior tests does not guarantee they have been maintained consistently. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be inspected for signs of corrosion, which can compromise structural integrity over time. The vehicle’s fluid levels—brake, engine oil, and coolant—should be verified, as prolonged inactivity can lead to degradation or contamination.
