Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this Kuga, focus on verifying the full service history to ensure the 1.5L diesel engine has had regular oil changes, especially as the mileage approaches 90,000. Check for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for a vehicle of this age.
Negotiate based on the remaining tread depth of the tyres and the condition of the brake pads, as these are common wear items for the Kuga model. Ensure the red paintwork has been kept in good condition, as some Ford red finishes can be prone to fading if not protected.
The 1.5L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering competitive fuel economy for a mid-sized SUV. Tax and insurance costs will vary by trim level, but the diesel variant generally falls into a mid-range bracket for this era.
Annual maintenance costs will likely involve standard servicing and the replacement of wear-and-tear items. Based on the model's aggregate data, expect costs for tyres and brake pads to be the primary recurring expenses.
Although the MOT history for T15GAD shows no defects, you should still inspect the headlamps, tyres, and brake pads, as these are the most frequent failure points across the wider Kuga population. Check the headlights for any condensation or dimming that might not have triggered a failure but could be an issue.
Pay close attention to the suspension components and steering rack, which are common areas of wear for SUVs of this age. A test drive should confirm there are no unusual vibrations or noises, particularly when braking or turning.
This 2017 red Ford Kuga 1.5L diesel has a recorded mileage of 88,122 miles as of February 2026. The MOT history is notably consistent, showing five consecutive passes without any recorded defects or advisories. While the mileage is slightly above the model average of 7,933 miles per year, the absence of test failures makes it a compelling option.
The Ford Kuga has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 84%, with most failures relating to common wear-and-tear items like tyres and bulbs.
