2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · PF64 NHJ

A largely clean MOT history defines this 2015 Ford Kuga, with only isolated lighting failures and a single advisory for a modest oil leak. The most recent test on 6 May 2026 passed without recorded defects, and the overall trend shows three consecutive clean passes flanked by two failures that relate solely to illumination components, indicating no recurring structural or safety‑critical issues. At 93,008 miles the vehicle averages roughly 8,500 miles per year, a usage rate that sits comfortably within normal UK patterns for a compact SUV of this age. The MOT record displays a consistent annual testing cadence with no significant gaps, suggesting the mileage has been accrued steadily rather than in short, high‑intensity bursts that could accelerate wear on major drivetrain or suspension elements. The 2021 advisory for an oil leak, although not classed as excessive, warrants visual inspection of the engine bay for any drips around the valve cover, oil filter housing or crankcase breather. Verify that the oil level is within specification and that there are no wet spots on the under‑tray after a short run. During a test drive, listen for any low‑frequency whirring that could indicate a leaking gasket affecting oil pressure, and monitor the oil warning light for intermittent activation. Both lighting failures—front headlamp aim too low in 2022 and a near‑side front position lamp non‑functional in 2025—should be confirmed as remedied. Check that the main headlamp beams are correctly centred on a wall at the prescribed height and that the position lamp illuminates steadily without flicker. Inspect the lamp housings for corrosion or cracked seals that could compromise sealing, and verify that the relevant bulbs and wiring connectors are secure. A focused pre‑purchase inspection of these systems will confirm that the recorded defects have been properly addressed and that the vehicle remains roadworthy.
