2021 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric · C7 BRW

The vehicle is in excellent roadworthiness condition, with its most recent MOT passed on 24 October 2025 at 37,168 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass the previous year at 32,041 miles, confirming a stable and well-maintained mechanical state with no recurring faults or advisories over two consecutive tests. The recorded mileage of 37,168 miles over approximately five years equates to an average of 7,434 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests was exactly one year, with a consistent 5,127-mile increase, indicating regular and predictable use without unusual spikes or long periods of inactivity that might raise concerns about battery health or fluid degradation. There are no recorded defects in either test, meaning no issues with brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust, or structural corrosion have been flagged by DVSA testers. This absence of advisories is notable and suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, particularly for a plug-in hybrid with complex electrical and thermal systems. However, the lack of recorded faults does not eliminate the need for physical inspection of components that do not fail MOT criteria but may show wear—such as the condition of the hybrid battery’s cooling system, the integrity of the CVT transmission fluid, and the wear on the regenerative braking pads, which can degrade unevenly in PHEVs. A buyer should inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition closely, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from dry rot if not regularly driven. Check the brake calipers for binding, especially on the rear axle, and verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which may show signs of fatigue despite low mileage. Also examine the underbody for early-stage rust around wheel arches and exhaust mounts, as these areas can corrode even in low-mileage cars if stored in damp conditions.
