Our Verdict
This 2013 Ford Kuga presents a generally clean recent test history with below-average mileage for its age. Buyers should note the single recorded failure in July 2025 before its subsequent pass on the same day.
When inspecting this Kuga, request the physical service history to verify how the vehicle has been maintained alongside the recorded MOT tests. Pay close attention to the tyres, headlamps, and brake pads, which are noted as the top MOT failure reasons across the model range. Negotiate based on any upcoming maintenance requirements and ensure all electrical features within the cabin operate correctly during a test drive.
Equipped with a 1997.0cc diesel engine, this model falls into standard diesel taxation and fuel consumption brackets for a mid-sized SUV. Insurance group ratings for this generation typically sit in the mid-range, making it relatively accessible to insure for experienced drivers. Budget for routine servicing and consumable replacements such as tyres and brake components in line with typical family SUV ownership costs.
Examine the tyres thoroughly for tread depth and uneven wear patterns, keeping in mind that tyres are the most common failure item for this model. Check the headlamps for condensation or clouding and test all lighting functions. Inspect the brake pads and discs for wear, and verify that the suspension components show no excessive play or knocks during a test drive, referencing the model's common weak points.
