2025 Ford Kuga Active HEV CVT Hybrid electric (clean) · GF02 ARR

There is currently no official DVSA MOT history available for this vehicle. As a 2025 model, the car is not yet due for its first statutory inspection, which typically occurs three years after registration. Consequently, it is impossible to establish a maintenance trend through government records. The vehicle should still be covered by the manufacturer warranty, meaning the primary evidence of roadworthiness will be the documented service history rather than MOT certificates. The recorded mileage is currently unknown, which prevents a definitive assessment of the annual usage rate. For a vehicle of this age, the buyer must verify the odometer reading against the service intervals to ensure the engine and hybrid system have been maintained according to the manufacturer schedule. High mileage in a short period may indicate heavy motorway use, whereas very low mileage can be equally concerning for a hybrid, as infrequent use can lead to battery degradation and the accumulation of moisture in the exhaust system. In the absence of recorded defects, the inspection should focus on age-related and usage-specific physical checks. Examine the tyres for adequate tread depth and inspect the sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, which can occur if the vehicle has been stored stationary for extended periods. The brake discs should be checked for heavy surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, a common issue in newer vehicles that are not driven regularly. Additionally, the health of the 12V auxiliary battery should be verified, as hybrid systems are particularly sensitive to voltage drops in the starter battery. The buyer should carefully review the service book for official stamps to confirm that all calendar-based fluid changes have been performed, regardless of the mileage covered. During the test drive, listen for any abnormal whining or shuddering from the CVT transmission and ensure the transition between the electric motor and the petrol engine is smooth and devoid of excessive vibration. Finally, perform a visual inspection of the underbody for any signs of impact damage or fluid leaks from the cooling system, ensuring the structural integrity and mechanical seals remain in factory condition.
