2015 Ford Kuga 2.0L Diesel · YR65 JYU

The 2015 Ford Kuga holds a current roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 February 2026 at the recorded mileage. Across the five tests documented between April 2022 and February 2026, every entry returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This unbroken sequence of clean results points to a stable trend in the items the MOT scheme actually covers, including brakes, tyres, suspension, lights, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity. The absence of repeat advisories for components such as brake discs, coil springs, or corroded underbody sections is technically reassuring on the face of it. Mileage data is not provided at the granular level of each individual test, so a precise year-on-year accumulation cannot be plotted. Based on the total of 110,665 miles against an approximate age of eleven years, the vehicle averages roughly 10,000 miles annually, which sits squarely within typical usage parameters for a car of this vintage. No anomalous gap or spike can be identified from the record. The most recent test sits approximately six months before the present date, meaning the certificate is comfortably valid and a buyer is not immediately facing an imminent retest. That said, a clean MOT history records only the condition of the vehicle on the test day and cannot, on its own, establish how the Kuga has been mechanically maintained between annual visits. Consumables such as brake pads, tyres, and drive belts do not feature on the record at all, and no service intervals, fluid changes, or cambelt history are documented here. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the underside for oil leaks from the engine and gearbox, check for fluid staining around the power steering assembly, and examine the condition of the tyres including their age codes, since tread depth at the time of test is the only tyre data the MOT captures. It is also prudent to look beyond the MOT certificate. The Kuga is known for issues with the rear brake calipers binding and for water ingress around the boot area, neither of which will necessarily appear on a standard test if they were not present on the day. Verify the operation of all electrical functions, particularly the infotainment system and parking sensors, and check for uneven tyre wear which can indicate worn suspension bushes or dropped coil springs. A compression test or diagnostic scan would offer further reassurance given the vehicle's age and mileage, supplementing the clean but ultimately limited MOT snapshot.
