Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2020 model year cars.
- PHEV Battery Fire Risk (Recall)Serious
Early PHEV models had a major battery contamination issue.
- 1.0 EcoBoost Oil-Pump Belt and Breather SensitivityModerate
While the main cam drive is chain-based on the 1.0 EcoBoost, the engine still relies on specific oil quality and can suffer oil-separator or lubrication-related issues when servicing is stretched. The oil pump belt degrades with wrong oil or missed intervals.
- ADAS Sensor and Camera FaultsModerate
The Kuga Mk3 is loaded with driver-assistance systems including adaptive cruise, lane-keeping and pre-collision assist. These rely on cameras and radar sensors that can develop faults, give false warnings or become unavailable after minor bumps or dirt accumulation.
