Our Verdict
A strong contender for those seeking a h
When inspecting this Kuga, prioritise the verification of the PHEV system's health, including the charging cables and the condition of the charging port. Ensure the service history aligns with Ford's requirements for the 2.5L engine and CVT transmission to ensure long-term viability.
Given the mileage is higher than the model average, use this as a negotiation point. Check for any evidence of recent tyre replacements, as the December 2024 MOT flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being close to the legal limit.
As a Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), running costs will vary significantly based on the owner's ability to charge regularly. The Euro 6 AP status ensures compliance with major UK clean air zones, reducing potential daily charges in cities.
Typical costs include insurance for a 2.5L engine and maintenance for a complex hybrid drivetrain. Estimated annual expenditure covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Focus on the tyres first; the 2024 MOT record explicitly mentioned worn edges on both front tyres, so verify the current tread depth and wear patterns. Additionally, check the windscreen wiper condition, as this is a common failure point across the wider Kuga model range.
Mechanically, pay attention to the drive shaft joints, which are listed as a top failure reason in aggregate data for this model. Listen for unusual clicking or vibrations during low-speed manoeuvres, which could indicate wear in these components.
This blue 2021 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED PHEV has recorded 49,581 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. The vehicle's history shows two MOT tests, both resulting in passes, though the 2024 test noted worn front tyres. It features a 2.5L hybrid engine and meets Euro 6 AP emissions standards.
The Kuga demonstrates a strong reliability profile with a 92.1% average MOT pass rate across 12,161 analysed vehicles.
