2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RY72 AMV

The most recent MOT test on 18 August 2025 at 33,642 miles confirmed the vehicle as roadworthy with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend, as the only available test in the past year passed without fail. The absence of advisories or recurring issues suggests the vehicle has not experienced any persistent mechanical or structural concerns during this period. However, the sparse MOT history—limited to a single test—means there is no long-term data to assess gradual wear patterns or potential latent failures. The recorded mileage of 33,642 miles over approximately four years aligns with typical usage for this vehicle’s age, averaging around 8,410 miles annually. There are no gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage to suggest extended periods of neglect or heavy usage. Without earlier MOT records, it is impossible to determine whether earlier tests revealed any issues that may have been resolved. The lack of a pre-2025 test also means there is no evidence of recurring faults or a history of repeated failures in critical systems. Given the limited MOT data, an in-person inspection should prioritise high-wear components that are not directly covered by the MOT test. The CVT transmission, while not explicitly tested in this record, should be checked for smooth engagement and unusual noises, particularly under acceleration or deceleration. The suspension—including coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven wear, leaks, or corrosion, as these are common points of failure in this model. The brake system, though not flagged in the single available test, warrants scrutiny for binding calipers, uneven pad wear, or excessive rotor thickness, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Additionally, the PHEV battery health cannot be verified from this record alone, so a diagnostic check would be advisable to confirm capacity and efficiency. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and underbody, should be inspected thoroughly, as it is often a silent risk that does not always appear in MOT tests.
