2015 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · MW15 ADX

The 2015 Ford Kuga demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent March 2026 MOT at 70,963 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance over the past three years, passing all tests from 2023 to 2026 without notable issues. The May 2023 failure, recorded at 54,688 miles, did not list specific defects, suggesting either a technical anomaly or a minor non-critical issue resolved before subsequent tests. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident in the data, indicating responsible maintenance. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 6,451 miles annually. The gap between the May 2023 and June 2023 tests (206 miles) appears unusually short, potentially reflecting a retest or administrative error, but no further details are provided. Subsequent tests show steady annual increases, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity that might indicate neglect. The absence of defects in all but the May 2023 test suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the failed record warrants cautious scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for wear, as these are common failure points in older models. The exhaust system and corrosion levels, especially under the chassis, merit attention, as these are often overlooked in MOTs. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the May 2023 failure highlights the importance of a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
