2024 Ford Kuga Graphite Tech ED HEV CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric · AX73 NFZ

The vehicle has no recorded MOT history in the DVSA database, meaning there is no recent test result to reference. Without any documented pass or failure, it is impossible to gauge whether the car’s maintenance has been stable, deteriorating or improving; the absence of data itself is a risk factor and should prompt a full independent mechanical appraisal before purchase. Mileage for this 2024 Ford Kuga Graphite Tech‑ED HEV CVT is not supplied, so the usual benchmark of roughly 10‑12 000 mi per year for a lightly used family SUV cannot be applied. If the odometer reads a low figure, it may indicate limited use but could also mask a vehicle that has been driven primarily in short urban trips, which can accelerate wear on the transmission and brake components. Conversely, a high reading for a two‑year‑old car would suggest intensive usage and would raise concerns about the condition of the hybrid battery, CVT clutch packs and suspension bushes. Request a full service history, oil change stamps and any hybrid battery health reports to verify the true mileage and usage pattern. In the absence of MOT data, the buyer should conduct a comprehensive visual and tactile inspection. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or uneven wear patterns that could signal mis‑alignment or suspension degradation. Check the tyre tread depth and ensure the inflation pressures match the specifications; older tyres can lose elasticity even if the tread appears adequate. Inspect the wheel arches, under‑body and chassis for any signs of corrosion, especially around the front subframe, suspension mounting points and exhaust system, as prolonged standing can lead to rust that compromises structural integrity. The hybrid battery and 12 V auxiliary battery should be tested for voltage and charge retention, as time‑related degradation can occur even with low mileage. Verify that the CVT fluid has been changed in accordance with Ford’s service intervals; fluid that is dark, gritty or has a burnt smell indicates imminent wear of the hydraulic clutch packs. Examine the brake discs and pads for surface rust, scoring or glazing, and confirm that the calipers move freely without binding. Finally, listen for any clunk, squeak or vibration during a short test drive—particularly over bumps, during acceleration and when applying the brakes—as these noises often reveal worn suspension bushings, loose steering components or brake issues that would need rectification before the vehicle can be considered road‑worthy.
