2015 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · SF15 XLT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 59,569 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one mile prior. This failure highlighted critical issues including illegal front tyres, a malfunctioning pressure monitoring system, and pitted rear brake discs. The history suggests the current owner only addresses mechanical faults when they cause an MOT failure, rather than performing regular preventative maintenance. At 59,569 miles over eleven years, this Ford Kuga has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The data shows a recent cluster of activity with 1,648 miles between December 2024 (57,921 miles) and September 2025 (59,569 miles). Such low usage often leads to secondary issues like dried rubber components and corrosion on braking surfaces from lack of use, which aligns with the binding rear caliper and insecure exhaust mounts noted in the record. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system due to recurring advisories. The December 2024 failure flagged a thin front pad, a significantly worn nearside front disc, and a binding rear caliper. Even in the September 2025 pass, the rear discs were noted as pitted and scored, indicating the hardware is reaching the end of its functional life. The tyre pressure monitoring system also remains a known fault, appearing in two consecutive tests, which requires a diagnostic check to determine if a sensor is faulty or the module requires attention.
