2021 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · CB02 AFB

A flawless record of roadworthiness characterizes this vehicle, with three consecutive MOT inspections resulting in passes without a single defect or advisory recorded. The latest test on 21 July 2026 maintains this trend of stability, indicating that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that consistently meets or exceeds DVSA standards without requiring corrective work between tests. With 36,636 miles recorded over approximately five years, the annual usage averages around 7,327 miles, which is representative of typical driver patterns for this model. This consistent mileage suggests that the mechanical components, including the suspension bushes and drivetrain, have been subjected to normal wear and tear rather than the degradation associated with long-term inactivity or the accelerated wear of high-mileage commuting. Given the absence of flagged defects in the MOT history, the physical inspection should focus on verifying that the current condition of the consumables aligns with the clean paperwork. During the test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the CVT transmission and the seamless transition between the electric motor and the internal combustion engine. Any hesitation, shuddering, or unusual vibrations during gear ratio changes should be noted, as these would be the first indicators of drivetrain wear not captured in a stationary MOT test. Further attention should be given to the steering and suspension response, ensuring there are no knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which would indicate the onset of wear in the linkages or coil springs. While the DVSA records show no issues with the braking system, a firm pedal feel and a lack of judder under deceleration are essential to confirm that the discs and calipers remain in optimal condition.
