2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line X Edition HEV CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LP22 HRE

A consistent track record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the two most recent MOT inspections on 31 July 2025 and 17 August 2026 returning no defects or advisories. This pattern indicates that the vehicle has met all statutory safety and environmental requirements during its recent testing history, showing no recorded issues with structural integrity, braking systems, or exhaust emissions. The recorded mileage of 30,097 miles suggests a moderate usage profile for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,524 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation is consistent with typical mixed-use driving patterns and does not indicate excessive wear on drivetrain components or suspension linkages that often accompanies high-mileage commercial or long-distance motorway use. Conversely, the mileage is high enough to suggest the vehicle has been in regular circulation rather than sitting stationary for extended periods, which helps mitigate risks associated with component seizure or fluid degradation. Given the absence of any recorded advisories or failures in the DVSA history, there are no specific mechanical defects to target for inspection. However, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough physical check of the consumables that are not always the primary focus of an MOT, such as the condition of the brake pads and discs for uneven wear or scoring, and the tread depth and sidewall integrity of the tyres. On a test drive, listen for any unusual knocks or rattles from the suspension bushes or coil springs, and check for any steering pull or vibrations through the steering wheel that could indicate alignment issues or wheel imbalance. Because the vehicle uses a CVT transmission, it is also prudent to monitor the smoothness of the power delivery during acceleration. Any noticeable hesitation, shuddering, or abnormal droning sounds from the drivetrain during gear transitions should be investigated. While the MOT records show no current issues with the braking system, a test drive should confirm there is no pedal judder or pulling to one side under heavy braking, ensuring the calipers and hydraulic lines are performing as expected.
