2015 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · R2 ELM

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-13 recorded multiple instances of tyre perishing or cracking in the tread across all four tyres. This suggests a recurring issue with tyre condition, likely due to age or storage conditions rather than excessive use. The vehicle has no other recorded defects in this test, but the tyre damage indicates a need for close inspection of rubber components. The 2024-10-24 MOT also noted perishing or cracking in all tyres, confirming a pattern of tyre degradation. This repetition implies a systemic risk, possibly linked to the vehicle’s low mileage of 37,698 miles over 11 years. Low mileage can lead to rubber components drying out or cracking if the car has been parked for extended periods, though this is not explicitly stated in the history. A 2023-11-09 MOT included a failure for a defective offside rear fog lamp, which was later resolved. No other defects were recorded in 2023 or 2022, indicating a generally clean history apart from the tyre and lamp issues. The lack of major defects in earlier tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but the tyre problems require attention. The vehicle’s mileage of 37,698 miles over 11 years is unusually low, averaging 3,427 miles per year.
