2015 Ford Kuga 1.5L Petrol · WF15 TOV

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile, showing a stable maintenance trend following a period of neglect. The most recent inspection on 4 November 2025 at 43,572 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This represents an improvement over the October 2024 test, where the rear brake linings were flagged as being worn thin. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between October 2023 and November 2025, the car covered only 9,363 miles, suggesting light use or long periods of remaining stationary. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can mathematically ( to rubber-based components aging, such as suspension bushes or seals, or cause" caliper seizing due to lack of regular friction. A buyer should physically inspect the braking system, as the 2024 failure highlighted thinning linings despite the low overall mileage. The initial failure in October 2022 at 29,827 miles due to both front tyres being below the legal limit indicates a past lapse in basic maintenance. Given the age of the vehicle and the low usage, check for tyre sidewalling cracks and surface corrosion on the underbody to ensure the stationary periods have not resulted in environmental degradation.
