2021 Ford Kuga Vignale Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FP21 YDO

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 14 March 2026 at 73,544 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in February 2025 and February 2024, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a five year old vehicle, averaging nearly 15,000 miles per year. The accumulation has accelerated recently. Between the February 2024 test at 49,517 miles and the February 2025 test at 65,765 miles, the car covered 16,248 miles. A further 7,779 miles were added in just over a month prior to the March 2026 test. This high-intensity usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. Despite the clean MOT records, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear consumables. A buyer should specifically check the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake discs and pads, as these are not always flagged until they reach a critical limit. The CVT transmission and hybrid battery cooling systems should be verified for smooth operation given the heavy road use. Check for any signs of suspension knocks or play in the steering rack. While the DVSA records show no structural corrosion or suspension failures, the mileage suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where coil springs and shock absorbers may begin to degrade. Confirming the service history matches this mileage is essential to ensure the engine oil and filters were changed at the required intervals.
