2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · MJ65 WLH

The 2015 Ford Kuga presents a stable and recently confirmed roadworthiness status. The most recent MOT, conducted on 29 April 2026 at 74,117 miles, passed with zero defects recorded, indicating all major safety and emissions components met the required standard at that time. The maintenance trend over the past four years is broadly stable, with no recurring mechanical failures. The only recorded failure occurred on 21 June 2023 at 49,854 miles, caused by a non-functional offside side repeater, a minor electrical defect that was rectified before the retest on the same day. The vehicle has not presented any MOT failure related to brakes, steering, suspension structural integrity, or exhaust emissions across the entire history provided. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Between the June 2022 test at 41,466 miles and the June 2023 test at 49,854 miles, the Kuga covered approximately 8,388 miles in twelve months. The subsequent interval from June 2023 to April 2026 saw a further 24,263 miles added, averaging roughly 6,900 miles per year over the full period. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden drops in recorded mileage that would suggest long-term standing or clocking concerns. The annual mileage pattern reflects regular, steady use rather than prolonged neglect or excessive short-journey wear. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front and rear suspension bushes, which appeared as advisories in both the June 2022 and June 2023 tests. Although the April 2026 pass indicates these components were within acceptable limits at 74,117 miles, the repeated flagging of worn trailing arm and suspension arm bushes across multiple tests suggests the vehicle may have been driven on rough surfaces or has seen sustained use that gradually degrades these rubber items. Inspect for any play, cracking, or perishing in the front and rear suspension bushes, and check the condition of the rear trailing arms for corrosion or distortion. The tyre wear advisories noted in 2023 and 2024, specifically edge wear and perishing, point to potential alignment or age-related degradation. Verify the current tyre date codes, tread depth across the full width of each tyre, and look for uneven wear patterns that could indicate tracking issues or worn suspension geometry components.
