2025 Ford Kuga ST-Line X HEV CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · A3 DLS

The Ford Kuga ST-Line X HEV presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 June 2025 at 53,653 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and prior tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the history, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern across its short service life. Mileage accumulation is high for a vehicle just over one year old. The record opens with a pass at 22,914 miles on 28 April 2022, then 34,725 miles on 15 May 2023, 44,926 miles on 23 May 2024, and 53,653 miles by June 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 to 11,000 miles added each year, totalling 53,653 miles in the period. A two-day gap between the 21 May 2024 fail and 23 May 2024 pass at near-identical mileages (44,918 to 44,926) suggests a minor administrative or retest issue rather than a mechanical defect, as no faults were listed on either entry. Given the clean MOT record, no structural corrosion, suspension wear, brake binding, or exhaust emission failures have been flagged by testers. The buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not captured by MOT, notably brake disc thickness, tyre tread depth across all four corners, and hybrid drivetrain coolant condition, since high annual mileage accelerates wear on these parts despite the absence of recorded advisories. The previous owner appears to have maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied DVSA criteria at every annual test. The lack of any recorded defect across five tests implies basic upkeep was not skipped, though the sparse commentary means hidden wear in bushes or calipers cannot be ruled out without a physical examination.
