2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · MV65 AFJ

This 2015 Ford Kuga has demonstrated consistent MOT compliance over five consecutive tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on January 17, 2026, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural weaknesses. The absence of advisories across all tests suggests the previous owner—or owners—have adhered to basic maintenance intervals, though this does not preclude hidden issues requiring hands-on verification. The recorded mileage of 59,825 miles over approximately 11 years implies a conservative usage pattern, averaging just over 5,400 miles annually. This is notably low for a vehicle of this age, particularly when compared to typical UK usage rates. The incremental mileage increases between tests—ranging from 4,500 to 5,400 miles per year—indicate prolonged periods of inactivity rather than heavy or erratic use. While this may reduce wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes or drivetrain fluids, it also raises questions about whether critical systems (such as corrosion protection or brake fluid condition) have been properly maintained during storage. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of fatigue or dry rot—common in low-mileage vehicles left stationary for extended periods. The brakes, while never flagged in tests, warrant closer examination for uneven wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has been parked for long stretches. Structural integrity should also be assessed, with a focus on wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels for corrosion, as rust can develop even in low-mileage cars exposed to moisture. Finally, fluid levels and condition—brakes, power steering, and engine oil—should be verified, as neglect during periods of disuse can lead to premature degradation.
