Our Verdict
This is a strong used buy for a nearly new Ford Kuga ST-Line Edition with a clean recent MOT record. The only minor note is slightly worn front brake pads picked up at the 2025 test, which is normal wear and easily addressed.
Given the clean MOT history, focus your negotiation on the front brake pads noted as wearing thin in August 2025. By the January 2026 test at 47,788 miles no defect was recorded, so either they were replaced or still had life left; confirm with the seller whether they were changed and ask for proof. Check the service history matches the mileage intervals recommended by Ford for the 1.5 EcoBoost petrol, as a 2022 vehicle should have had at least one major service by now.
The 1,496cc petrol engine in this Kuga ST-Line Edition is a Euro 6 AP unit, so it avoids the highest clean-air-zone charges but will sit in a standard petrol VED band for a vehicle of this age and CO2 output. Insurance group and exact fuel economy are not in the provided data, but as a 2022 mid-size SUV petrol it is likely to return mid-30s mpg combined in real-world use. Typical annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance are estimated at £1,200-£1,500 given the mileage and vehicle class.
The only MOT-recorded issue was front brake pad(s) wearing thin at the August 2025 test (44,060 miles); inspect the front brakes closely and confirm current pad thickness, though the January 2026 pass with no defects suggests they remain acceptable or were renewed. Check the bodywork on this blue example for stone chips and parking marks, and verify the 1496cc petrol engine starts cleanly with no warning lights. As no model aggregate reliability data is available, rely on the individual history here which shows two passes and one minor advisory only.
AK72BCU is a 2022-registered blue 1.5-litre petrol Ford Kuga ST-Line Edition first registered in October 2022. Its two MOT tests to date (August 2025 at 44,060 miles and January 2026 at 47,788 miles) both passed, with only a minor advisory for front brake pads wearing thin in 2025. With under 48,000 miles at around three and a half years old, the mileage is reasonable for the age and the Euro 6 AP petrol engine keeps it compliant with current emissions rules.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Ford Kuga ST-Line Edition, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual test history.
