Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Your primary focus should be on the manufacturer's warranty, as this vehicle is still well within its initial coverage period. Ensure that all PHEV-specific equipment, including the home and public charging cables, are present and in good working order.
Verify the full service record to ensure any early 'run-in' checks have been completed. Given the registration date, you should negotiate based on the current market value for nearly new hybrid SUVs, ensuring the vehicle's history is fully documented from the point of first registration in April 2026.
Running costs for this 2488cc PHEV will depend heavily on the owner's ability to charge the battery regularly. It is Euro 6 EA compliant, ensuring access to UK low-emission zones and avoiding most daily charges.
Maintenance costs are expected to be low in the short term due to the vehicle's age, though insurance groups for the ST-Line X trim tend to be higher than base models. Estimated annual costs include fuel, electricity, road tax, and insurance.
While this specific vehicle has no MOT history to review, aggregate data from over 14,000 Kugas indicates that tyres and direction indicators are common failure points; these should be checked for any early defects.
Inspect the hybrid battery's state of charge and ensure the CVT transmission operates smoothly during a test drive. Pay close attention to the exterior black paintwork for any early signs of stone chips or surface marks that may have occurred since its April registration.
This black Ford Kuga ST-Line X PHEV is a very recent addition to the road, first registered in April 2026. As a late-model vehicle with a 2.5L hybrid powertrain, it offers modern efficiency and the premium features associated with the ST-Line X trim. There is no MOT history available yet, which is expected given the vehicle's age.
Aggregate data for the Kuga is positive, showing a strong average MOT pass rate of 92.8% across 14,804 analysed vehicles.
