Our Verdict
Approach with caution and budget for immediate maintenance, but this 2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line X Edition EcoBlue is fundamentally sound with a recent MOT pass. The earlier 2025 failure shows worn tyres, thin front brake pads, a rear shock leak and a low-fuel emissions abort that were presumably rectified before the March 2025 pass.
Before buying MV22ADU, obtain proof that the March 2025 failure items were properly repaired — specifically the near-side and off-side front tyres, front brake pads under 1.5 mm, the near-side rear shock absorber fluid leak, and the oil change/fuel-related emissions abort. A fresh service record and receipts for those fixes would materially support the price. Given the December 2025 advisory on the offside rear brake disc being worn and pitted, negotiate a contribution towards replacement discs and pads all round, as these will likely be due soon.
As a 1.5cc diesel Euro 6 AP Ford Kuga, this model should return reasonable fuel economy for a compact SUV, though exact figures are not in the provided data. Annual road tax for a post-April 2017 diesel SUV of this size typically falls in the standard band, and insurance group is likely mid-range for the class. Routine maintenance such as tyres, brakes and diesel servicing should be budgeted alongside the noted wear; we estimate total annual running costs at £1,000-£1,300 including fuel, tax, insurance and typical upkeep.
Inspect the front tyres closely despite the March 2025 pass, as both were flagged worn on the edge at 30,136 miles and may again be nearing limits at 34,266 miles. Check the front brake pad thickness and confirm the near-side rear shock absorber shows no remaining fluid leak from the March 2025 failure. On the lift, examine the offside rear brake disc for the pitting and scoring noted at the December 2025 MOT, and assess whether all four discs and pads need replacement.
This red 1.5-litre diesel Kuga, first registered in March 2022, has covered 34,266 miles by its December 2025 MOT, which is modest for a three-and-a-half-year-old family SUV. The MOT history shows one failure in March 2025 for tyre, brake pad, shock absorber and emissions-readiness issues, followed by a pass three days later and another pass in December 2025. The most recent test noted a worn, pitted offside rear brake disc, indicating ongoing wear items needing attention. No aggregate model reliability data is available for this specific ST-Line X Edition EcoBlue variant.
