2021 FORD KUGA ST-LINE ECOBLUE MHEV2.0L DIESEL

Based on the official DVSA MOT records, this 2021 Ford Kuga ST-Line EcoBlue MHEV presents an entirely clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test, conducted on 16 March 2026 at 22,943 miles, passed with zero defects, advisories, or fails. The maintenance trend is stable. Every preceding annual test, spanning from June 2023 through June 2025, also passed with no defects recorded, indicating consistent mechanical compliance across the vehicle's life. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of low, steady use. Over roughly five years, the car has covered 22,943 miles, averaging approximately 4,589 miles per year. The intervals between tests confirm this: 4,231 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, 4,231 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, and 3,135 miles between June 2025 and March 2026. There are no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps in the odometer record. The slight reduction in the most recent annual distance may reflect changing ownership patterns or reduced commuting, but the accumulation remains well within normal parameters for a vehicle of this age. A clean MOT record is encouraging, yet it does not substitute for a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles can suffer from deterioration caused by prolonged standing, particularly perished rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and degraded tyre sidewalls with adequate tread depth. The Kuga's ST-Line variant sits lower on firmer suspension, so check the coil springs and dampers for leaks or corrosion, especially given the EcoBlue diesel powertrain's sensitivity to short-run driving conditions that can cause diesel particulate filter and EGR valve buildup. Inspect the underside for surface rust on subframes and suspension arms, and verify that the mild-hybrid electrical system operates correctly under load. A test drive at varying speeds will reveal any latent issues the MOT's static checks cannot detect, such as transmission hesitation or power steering irregularities.
