2021 FORD KUGA ST-LINE PHEV CVT2.5L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 with 44,541 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows a minor lapse in preventative care. While the January 2026 test identified only minor wiper blade defects, the failure in January 2025 indicates a period where the previous owner neglected basic consumable maintenance, though these were rectified immediately before the re-test. At 44,541 miles over five years, the Kuga averages approximately 8,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family hybrid. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 10,500 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 7,800 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is beneficial for the hybrid-related seals and rubber components. A buyer should specifically inspect the tyres and suspension geometry due to the 2025 failure where the offside front tyre was worn on the edge. This often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that could cause premature tyre degradation. Given the mileage and the hybrid powertrain, a physical check of the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear is also advisable, although the record does not explicitly flag any issues with the braking system.
