Our Verdict

This is a very recent registration, maki

Since this vehicle is too new to have an MOT record, you cannot rely on historical test results to gauge its condition. Your priority must be verifying the remaining manufacturer warranty and ensuring that any scheduled servicing has been performed according to Ford's requirements.

When negotiating, ask for a detailed breakdown of the current mileage and check if it aligns with the average annual usage for this model. Because this is the ST-Line X trim, check that all premium features associated with this specification are present and functioning correctly, as these are high-value components.

As a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), running costs will be influenced by the efficiency of the 2488cc engine working in tandem with the electric motor. Fuel economy should be competitive for a vehicle of this size, particularly in urban environments.

Tax and insurance groups will vary based on the specific insurance group assigned to the ST-Line X trim, but hybrid models often benefit from more favourable positioning. Expect typical maintenance costs for a modern Ford, though the hybrid system requires specific expertise for any long-term electrical component work.

Without an MOT history to reference, you must conduct a thorough physical inspection. Pay close attention to the hybrid battery's integration and ensure there are no warning lights on the dashboard related to the electric drive system or the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).

Check the exterior grey paintwork for any signs of transit damage or stone chips, and inspect the interior to ensure the ST-Line X specific trim is in pristine condition. As the vehicle is likely still under warranty, confirm that all software updates for the hybrid powertrain have been applied by a Ford specialist.

Registered in January 2026, this Ford Kuga ST-Line X HEV CVT is a nearly new vehicle with no MOT history currently available. With an engine size of 2488cc and a hybrid electric powertrain, it represents the current generation of Ford's electrified SUV lineup. Given the model aggregate data shows an average annual mileage of 6,320, its value will depend heavily on how its current mileage compares to this benchmark.

Aggregate data from 7,651 vehicles shows a high average MOT pass rate of 89.6% for this model range.
