2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line X Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric · LL14 HTC

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state having passed its most recent MOT test in April 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car transitioned from a clean record in 2025 to a single minor advisory in the latest inspection. The tester flagged the nearside rear tyre for slight damage or cracking, which represents a minor consumable issue but does not indicate a failure of broader mechanical or structural integrity. At 32,441 miles over four years, the Kuga averages approximately 8,110 miles per annum. This usage profile aligns with typical UK driving patterns for a modern hybrid vehicle. The 4,145-mile interval between the April 2025 test at 28,296 miles and the April 2026 test at 32,441 miles shows consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity. This mileage suggests that wear on the CVT drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake components should be minimal compared to higher-mileage examples. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the nearside rear tyre to determine if the cracking is merely surface level or deep structural damage requiring immediate replacement. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to check for surface corrosion on brake discs and calipers, as low-use vehicles can sometimes suffer from seized braking components. The lack of previous advisories regarding suspension leaks or exhaust emissions suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained according to its service history.
