Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this Kuga, verify that the service history aligns with Ford's requirements for the 2.5L hybrid powertrain and CVT transmission. Ensure that all the high-specification features of the ST-Line X Edition trim are fully operational, particularly the infotainment and driver assistance systems.
Given the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the current state of the tyres. While this specific vehicle passed its MOT without defects, tyres are the most frequent cause of failure for this model across the wider fleet, making them a key point for negotiation or replacement.
As a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) with Euro 6 AP status, this Kuga is designed for improved urban efficiency and is compliant with UK clean air zones. Running costs will be influenced by the larger 2488cc engine displacement and the premium insurance group associated with the ST-Line X Edition trim.
Maintenance costs for these hybrids are generally standard for the class, though the CVT transmission requires specific fluid checks. Annual costs will primarily consist of fuel, road tax, and insurance, alongside routine servicing.
Begin by inspecting the tyres for tread depth and uneven wear, as aggregate data identifies tyres as the top MOT failure reason for the Kuga. Check the black exterior paintwork for any signs of stone chips or surface scratches that may have occurred over its 15,000 miles.
Internally, check the condition of the upholstery and controls to ensure they match the relatively low mileage. Finally, confirm that the hybrid system transitions smoothly between electric and petrol power during a test drive.
This 2023 Black Ford Kuga ST-Line X Edition HEV CVT has covered 15,212 miles since its June 2023 registration. Its first MOT test in April 2026 was passed with no defects recorded. Based on model data, it belongs to a range with a high aggregate pass rate of 92.9%.
The Ford Kuga demonstrates a strong reliability profile in MOT data, with a 92.9% pass rate across 9,532 analysed vehicles.
