2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · MV65 AEY

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 8 April 2026 at 111,459 miles. Although the car failed that specific test due to a non-functional nearside rear stop lamp, the subsequent pass indicates this minor electrical issue was rectified immediately. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle consistently passing its annual inspections despite occasional minor failures related to consumables. The mileage accumulation shows a consistent pattern of use, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 72,278 miles and the December 2024 test at 99,276 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 27,000 miles, suggesting a period of significantly higher usage compared to its earlier years. This increased activity aligns with the heavy wear noted during the December 2024 inspection, where the tester flagged four tyres as being worn close to the legal limit, including one nearside rear tyre with exposed cords. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and wheel alignment, given the pattern of edge wear and cord exposure seen in late 2024. While the MOT history shows no recorded issues with structural integrity, brake systems, or suspension components, the sudden increase in annual mileage warrants a physical check of the drivetrain and suspension bushes for signs of accelerated wear. The 2022 failure regarding the tyre pressure monitoring system also suggests checking that all electronic sensors are currently functioning correctly.
