2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · NK65 UCD

The Ford Kuga presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent pass on 21 October 2024 at 122,627 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared the final test with no defects logged, though the same date shows a prior failure with no defects recorded, an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in September 2023 and September 2022 also returned passes with clean sheets, indicating no recurring advisories or worsening condition across the visible record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging around 11,148 miles per year against the 122,627 miles recorded. The jump from 91,675 miles at the 26 September 2022 test to 106,144 miles by 14 September 2023 reflects roughly 14,500 miles in that year, a modest rise over average but not abnormal. From September 2023 to October 2024 the odometer moved only 16,478 miles, confirming steady private-use pacing with no signs of rapid accumulation or long idle gaps. The DVSA record flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, given the Kuga's age and the test regime's known blind spots on concealed components. Verify the twin 21 October 2024 entries with the seller to confirm the failure was a paperwork reversal and not a suppressed defect. Given the absence of recorded advisories across three consecutive years, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic consumable and mechanical standards. The clean history offers reasonable assurance, but independent verification of brake condition and tyre tread remains prudent before purchase.
