Our Verdict
Highly recommended for those seeking a modern, low-mile hybrid SUV. This vehicle shows exceptionally low mileage and a perfect initial MOT record, making it a strong example of the Kuga PHEV range.
Since this is a relatively new '23' registration, your first priority should be verifying that the service history is up to date according to Ford's schedule, as PHEVs require specific software updates and battery checks. Ensure that the hybrid battery warranty is active and check for any signs of recent long-term storage. Given the low mileage, ensure the car has been used regularly enough to keep the high-voltage system conditioned.
When negotiating, focus on the ST-Line X-specific features which include high-value tech additions. Check for any minor bodywork that might not be reflected in the low-mileage figure, and verify the condition of the tyres, as these are a common failure point across the wider model aggregate.
As a PHEV, running costs will be highly dependent on your charging habits; if you can charge at home, fuel costs will be remarkably low. The 2.5L engine is efficient when assisted by the electric motor, but tax bands may be higher than fully electric or smaller hybrid counterparts.
Maintenance costs are typical for a modern Ford, though specialized hybrid servicing applies. You should expect annual costs including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance to fall between £1,200 and £1,600 depending on your insurance group and annual mileage.
While the March 2026 MOT showed no defects, you should still inspect the tyres for uneven wear, as the aggregate data identifies tyres as a primary failure reason for Kuga models. Check the CVT transmission for smooth transitions between electric and petrol power, ensuring no unusual jerking.
Inspect the charging port for any signs of damage and ensure the charging cable is included. Because the mileage is low, check for any flat-spotting on tyres or rubber components, which can occasionally occur on vehicles that have sat for longer periods without regular use.
This 2023 Ford Kuga ST-Line X PHEV is in very fresh condition, having covered just 11,389 miles in over three years—significantly below the fleet average of 26,000 miles for this age. Its first MOT in March 2026 passed with no defects recorded, suggesting it has maintained high standards since its registration. The 2488cc hybrid engine offers a high level of performance combined with the premium ST-Line X trim features.
The Ford Kuga maintains a strong 92.6% average MOT pass rate across the fleet, though steering and tyre issues are common across the model.
