2020 Ford Kuga ST-Line Ecoblue Mhev 2.0L Diesel · CV70 WBY

The 2020 Ford Kuga ST-Line EcoBlue MHEV presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 15 May 2025 at 38,365 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of three consecutive annual passes. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns across the available history. Mileage accumulation has been modest and consistent for a six-year-old vehicle. The record shows 24,515 miles at the 30 September 2023 test, rising to 34,965 miles by 30 September 2024, then 38,365 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 6,394 miles per year, below the national average, with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps suggesting prolonged standing. The sparse three-entry history offers no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Low annual mileage combined with the Kuga's age means suspension bushes, front coil springs, and subframe mounting points may show age-related corrosion or perishing rubber not yet severe enough to flag. The EcoBlue diesel drivetrain and mild-hybrid system warrant a cold-start check for DPF regen behaviour and belt tensioner noise. Brake discs and calipers should be measured for lip wear and binding, as light use accelerates surface rust on rotors. Confirm the underbody and sills are free from structural rust given the test intervals left 18 months between the 2023 and 2024 examinations. No recorded faults lessen but do not remove the need for hands-on verification.
