2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · SD65 HCY

This Ford Kuga presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 22 May 2025 at 71,466 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue. The absence of advisories across the last four years indicates a vehicle that has been kept in a condition exceeding the minimum legal standard. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for an eleven year old vehicle. The odometer rose from 52,187 miles in September 2022 to 71,466 miles by May 2025. This represents an average annual usage of roughly 6,500 miles. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration of rubber components and seals. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions since 2022. This suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. Because the DVSA record is devoid of common wear-and-tear flags, a physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT tester may overlook, such as the condition of the oil and coolant. A buyer should specifically check for chassis corrosion and the state of the tyre treads, as these are often noted as advisories before they become failures. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these critical maintenance items are not captured in a standard MOT test.
