Our Verdict

Recommended. This 2021 Kuga ST-Line has

When reviewing this vehicle, prioritize the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine and 4x4 system have been serviced according to manufacturer intervals. Specifically, check for invoices confirming the replacement of front and rear brake pads and the rear discs, which were flagged as wearing thin or pitted in the December 2023 MOT.

As a 2.0L diesel, this Kuga is designed for efficiency over longer distances, though it will sit in a higher tax bracket than the smaller petrol variants. Insurance costs will be influenced by the ST-Line trim and 4x4 drivetrain.

Typical maintenance will include diesel-specific requirements and the upkeep of the four-wheel-drive system. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, is approximately £1,300-£1,700.

Pay close attention to the braking system; the December 2023 MOT specifically noted thin front and rear pads and pitted rear discs. Given that brake pads are a top failure reason across 363 analysed Kugas, verify that these components have been renewed.

Inspect the rear tyres to ensure they were replaced after the April 2025 advisory noted tread at 2mm. Additionally, check the suspension arms for any signs of wear or play, as these are frequently cited as a common failure point in aggregate model data.

This red 2.0L diesel 4x4 Kuga has recorded 46,144 miles since its first registration in January 2021. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes, with advisories relating to brake wear in 2023 and tyre tread in 2025. It presents as a typical example of the model in terms of usage and test outcomes.

The Kuga maintains a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 90.0%, with brake pads and suspension arms being the most common points of failure.
