Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing due t
Your primary focus should be the engine management system. The October 2025 MOT failure specifically cited an inoperative or malfunctioning engine MIL (8.2.2.2 (g)). You must confirm that this fault was not only repaired but that the underlying cause—whether a sensor issue or a software fault—has been fully resolved and is no longer throwing codes.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. While the 2024 MOT noted a damaged/cracking offside rear tyre, you should inspect all four tyres to ensure they have been replaced or that no further perishing is evident. Ask for evidence of the repair for the engine light failure to ensure it wasn't just a bulb replacement but a genuine fix to the engine management system.
As a 1.5L diesel model, this Kuga is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though fuel economy will vary based on driving style. Being a Euro 6 vehicle, it is compliant with current ULEZ and CAZ standards, helping to avoid daily charges in many UK cities.
Insurance groups for the Kuga Titanium trim tend to be mid-range, and tax is determined by the specific CO2 emissions of this diesel variant. Expect maintenance costs to be typical for a Ford SUV, with regular service intervals required to maintain the diesel engine's health.
Specifically inspect the dashboard and instrument cluster to ensure the engine warning lights function correctly during a test drive; the 2025 failure was directly related to the MIL system. Check the underside of the vehicle, as the 2025 MOT record notes that undertrays were fitted following the failure.
Examine the tyre sidewalls closely for any signs of cracking or perishing, following the issue noted in the November 2024 MOT. Finally, because the engine MIL was a recorded failure, a diagnostic scan using an OBD-II reader is highly recommended to check for any 'pending' fault codes that might not have triggered a light yet.
This 2021 Ford Kuga Titanium Ed EBlue A is a diesel-powered SUV with 16,800 miles recorded at its last test. The vehicle has a documented MOT history showing one failure in October 2025 related to the engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) and one advisory regarding a tyre sidewall in 2024. The current mileage is slightly above the model average of 7,851 miles per year.
Aggregate data from 1,075 vehicles shows an 89.8% MOT pass rate, with engine MIL malfunctions and brake components being common failure points for this model.
