2024 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Phev CVT 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · K31 UGA

This Ford Kuga presents a stable and clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT test on 1 September 2025 at 23,658 miles showing no defects at all. The absence of any failures or advisories in the past two years suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, particularly in critical areas like brakes, suspension, and structural integrity. The only historical issue—a thin rear brake pad advisory in March 2023 at 13,070 miles —was resolved before the next test six months later, indicating prompt attention to wear items. With no further brake-related concerns and no signs of corrosion, binding components, or suspension degradation in subsequent tests, the mechanical condition appears reliable for its age and mileage. The Kuga’s mileage accumulation is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging just 3,943 miles per year , which is well below the UK average. The gap between the March 2023 and September 2023 tests—just 436 miles over six months —hints at either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. While low mileage typically reduces wear on consumables, it can also mask hidden issues if the vehicle has sat unused for extended periods, particularly in areas prone to fluid degradation (e.g., brake fluid, coolant) or rubber deterioration (e.g., suspension bushes, hoses). The consistent mileage increments thereafter— 6,224 miles in 2024 and 3,928 miles in 2025 —suggest a more regular but still light usage pattern, which aligns with the pristine MOT history. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be on rear brake system health , given the single advisory in 2023. While the pads were clearly replaced before the next test, inspect the rear brake discs for uneven wear or scoring, as thin pads can accelerate disc damage. Check for fluid leaks around the brake calipers and binding in the rear brakes, which can occur if the system was neglected after the advisory. The suspension should be scrutinised for worn bushes or coil springs , particularly if the car has been driven on rough roads or sat unused for long stretches, as rubber components degrade over time even without high mileage. Finally, verify exhaust emissions compliance —though no issues were flagged, a visual check for rust or loose mounts is prudent, given the Kuga’s body structure and potential exposure to road salt or moisture.
