2024 Ford Kuga ST-Line Edition Phev CVT Hybrid electric (clean) · PL73 XAD

There is currently no official DVSA MOT history available for this vehicle, which is consistent with its 2024 registration as it has not yet reached the three year threshold for its first mandatory inspection. Consequently, a maintenance trend cannot be established through public records, but the vehicle should theoretically be in a near new mechanical state provided it has adhered to the manufacturer's scheduled service intervals. The recorded mileage is currently unknown, preventing a precise evaluation of the annual usage rate or the identification of any rapid mileage accumulation. For a plug in hybrid electric vehicle of this vintage, it is critical to determine the split between electric and internal combustion engine usage, as very low petrol mileage can lead to fuel stagnation or carbon build up, while excessively high mileage may accelerate wear on the CVT transmission and suspension components. In the absence of MOT advisories, the inspection should focus on physical wear and the effects of standing. Particular attention must be paid to the brake discs and calipers; because PHEVs rely heavily on regenerative braking, the mechanical braking system is often underutilised, which can lead to surface corrosion or binding calipers. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or feel for brake shudder, and visually inspect the discs for heavy pitting or uneven wear. Furthermore, verify the condition of the tyres by checking the sidewalls for any perishing or cracking, especially if the car has been stored for extended periods. Ensure the 12V auxiliary battery is holding a healthy charge and that the high voltage battery system shows no fault codes on the dashboard. Finally, a thorough review of the service book is essential to confirm that calendar based fluid changes have been performed, as brake fluid and engine coolant degrade over time regardless of the total distance travelled.
