Our Verdict

This Ford Kuga ST-Line Edition is a stro

Given the low mileage, your primary focus should be verifying the service history to ensure the 1.5L EcoBlue engine has received regular oil changes, which is critical for diesel engines. Check that the ST-Line specific trim features, such as the upgraded interior and exterior styling, are in good condition and that all electronic components are functioning correctly.

When negotiating, ask for evidence of any manufacturer-approved servicing. While the MOT history is clean, it does not confirm mechanical maintenance. Look for a consistent gap between services that aligns with the vehicle's low annual usage.

As a Euro 6 diesel, this Kuga is compliant with current ULEZ and CAZ standards, helping to avoid daily charges in many UK cities. The 1499cc engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for longer motorway journeys where diesel excels.

Insurance groups for the ST-Line trim tend to be mid-range, and tax will depend on the specific CO2 emissions of this Euro 6 variant. You should budget for standard diesel maintenance costs, including periodic diesel particulate filter (DPF) considerations if the vehicle is used exclusively for short urban trips.

While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, aggregate data for this model indicates that tyres, windscreen washers, and wipers are common failure points. Inspect the tread depth and condition of all four tyres and ensure the washer fluid system operates without leaks.

Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the integrity of the glass. Because this is a diesel model, if you intend to use it for short journeys, listen for any signs of DPF regeneration issues, though the low mileage suggests it may have been used for more varied driving.

Registered in January 2021, this white 1.5L EcoBlue diesel has covered 17,818 miles as of its last MOT in January 2025. This mileage is significantly lower than the aggregate annual average of 8,751 miles for this model. The vehicle has a documented history of two MOT passes with no defects recorded, suggesting a consistent standard of compliance during its first four years.

The Ford Kuga shows a high aggregate MOT pass rate of 90.2% across 739 analysed vehicles, suggesting generally good compliance.
