2021 Ford Kuga ST-Line First ED Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric · ELZ 5399

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT inspection. The test conducted on 15 July 2025 at 28,180 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has met all minimum safety and environmental standards without any immediate mechanical or structural failures flagged by the DVSA tester. At 28,180 miles over five years, the Kuga has averaged approximately 5,636 miles per year. This is significantly below the national average for a modern vehicle, suggesting light annual usage which typically preserves high-wear components like the drivetrain and suspension bushings. However, low-mileage patterns can sometimes lead to specific issues such as brake disc corrosion from lack of use or flat-spotting tyres if the car has sat stationary for extended periods between journeys. Since the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the impact of low-mileage operation. A buyer should check for signs of corrosion on the underbody battery housing and ensure the brake rotors are free of surface pitting. Given the PHEV nature of the vehicle, inspecting the high-voltage battery health and the cooling system is essential, as low mileage does not always prevent the degradation of rubber hoses or electronic components over time.
