2025 Ford Kuga ST-Line X Phev CVT Hybrid electric (clean) · LL75 WKA

The DVSA records show no MOT history for this 2025 Ford Kuga ST‑Line X PHEV, which is unsurprising given the vehicle is only a little over a year old and would not have been required to undergo an MOT until the end of 2027. Consequently there is no test data from which to assess a maintenance trend; the absence of recorded failures or advisories simply reflects that the car has not yet been subjected to the statutory inspection. Prospective buyers should therefore request any private service records, dealer inspections, or warranty documentation to establish whether routine maintenance has been kept up to the manufacturer’s schedule. Mileage is not supplied in the data, so an objective comparison with the vehicle’s age cannot be made. For a 2025 model the typical annual mileage in the UK ranges between eight and twelve thousand miles; a figure substantially above this would indicate a higher rate of wear on the power‑train, tyres, suspension and braking components, whereas a very low reading could suggest limited use and the attendant risks of fluid degradation, brake disc corrosion and tyre perishing. The buyer should verify the odometer reading, cross‑check it against service stamps and any documented mileage entries, and ask the seller to explain any large gaps or unusually high figures. Given the lack of MOT data and the vehicle’s relatively young age, the inspection should focus on time‑related wear items rather than age‑related failures. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or loss of tread uniformity, as rubber can deteriorate even on low‑mileage cars that have been stored for extended periods. Check the 12‑volt battery terminals for corrosion and assess the state of charge of the high‑voltage hybrid battery, preferably with a diagnostic scan that can confirm its state of health and any error codes. Inspect the CVT fluid level and condition; a dark, gritty fluid may indicate overdue service, while low level could point to a leak in the transmission housing or cooler lines. Verify that the brake discs are free of excessive surface rust, that the pads have sufficient material, and that the calipers move smoothly without binding – standing vehicles often develop seized calipers or corroded pistons that can cause shudder or uneven braking. Finally, conduct a thorough visual and tactile examination of the under‑body for any signs of corrosion, especially around the wheel arches, suspension mounting points and exhaust system, as early rust can compromise structural integrity. Look for any fluid leaks – coolant, brake fluid, power‑steering or transmission oil – and ensure all hoses and rubber seals are supple rather than cracked. During a test drive listen for clunks or squeaks from the suspension bushes, coil springs and CVT, note any hesitation or judder on acceleration, and confirm that the regenerative braking blends seamlessly with the conventional system. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic, ideally with a full diagnostic readout, will provide the confidence needed to proceed with a vehicle that has no MOT record but is still within its warranty period.
