2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric · K21 WOR

A clean MOT record to date, with the most recent test on 10 October 2025 passing without any recorded defects, indicates that no safety‑critical issues have been flagged on this 2022 Ford Kuga ST‑Line PHEV CVT throughout its service life so far. The absence of advisories or failures suggests that, at least up to the last inspection, the vehicle’s structural integrity, emissions system and primary safety components met the required standards. At 30 675 miles the Kuga averages roughly 7 600 miles per annum, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal usage for a family SUV of this age. The MOT history shows only the statutory first test, which aligns with the vehicle reaching its three‑year MOT threshold in 2025; there are no gaps or unusually long intervals between examinations. Mechanically, this mileage level implies that consumables such as brake pads, tyres and the CVT’s hydraulic fluid will be entering the mid‑life wear stage, but not yet at a point where premature failure is expected. When inspecting the vehicle, focus on the components that typically begin to show wear on a four‑year‑old plug‑in hybrid. Listen for any metallic clunk or knock when passing over bumps, which could reveal deteriorating suspension bushes or worn control‑arm joints. During a short drive, assess the braking feel for any pulsation or increased pedal travel that might indicate pad thinning or disc surface irregularities. With a CVT, a smooth, shudder‑free acceleration without judder is a key indicator that the transmission fluid remains within acceptable condition; any hesitation or slipping under load should be investigated. Finally, verify that the hybrid system displays no warning lights and that the battery management display reports normal state‑of‑charge and temperature ranges, as early electronic faults can manifest as intermittent power loss or reduced electric‑only range.
