FORD KUGA ST-LINE FIRST ED PHEV CVT2020 · 2.5L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, as evidenced by three consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 8 August 2025 at 74,331 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency across the history from the 2024 and 2023 tests suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents immediate mechanical failure or structural degradation. The mileage profile indicates significant usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,388 miles annually. Between the August 2023 test at 28,255 miles and the August 2024 test at 51,055 miles, the car covered 22,800 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation continued with another 23,276 miles recorded prior to the most recent 2025 test. Such high annual mileage typically places accelerated stress on wear-related components and drivetrain assemblies compared to lower-mileage fleet examples. While the MOT record shows no historical faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Examine the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and lateral arms for signs of premature fatigue or play resulting from the frequent use. Given the mileage, inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring and check the calipers for potential binding. Because this is a PHEV, verifying the integrity of the hybrid cooling system and the battery condition is also essential, as the MOT does not test the internal health of these high-voltage components.
