2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · T22 GAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass just nine days ago, but the record reveals a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion and mechanical neglect. The June 2026 test at 100,807 miles identified a corroded offside rear coil spring, along with corrosion on the rear anti-roll bar and the sub-frame. While these structural elements were noted as not seriously weakened, the presence of rust across multiple undercarriage components suggests an environment of high exposure or a lack of preventative treatment. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,164 miles per year. The data shows steady annual usage, moving from 65,699 miles in June 2022 to 100,807 miles in June 2026. This regular interval suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, yet the recurring nature of fluid-related faults in the last two years indicates that basic fluid checks may not have been consistently performed between annual inspections. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the cooling system and engine seals. The record shows a empty reservoir in June 2024 at 83,734 miles, followed by the tester having to top up an empty bottle in June 2025 at 93,293 miles. This, combined with a noted rear main seal oil leak from the same period, indicates a potential risk of overheating or expensive gasket failure. Additionally, the damaged tread areas on both front tyres in the most recent test require immediate attention to ensure the structural integrity of the rubber is not compromised.
