2021 Ford Kuga ST-Line Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · SC71 FAJ

The 2021 Ford Kuga ST-Line PHEV holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, anchored by the 23 October 2025 MOT test at 20,167 miles which passed with no defects or advisories recorded. The previous examination on 5 November 2024 at 16,229 miles also delivered a clean pass. Two consecutive fault-free certificates indicate the prior keeper addressed any wear promptly and avoided deferred mechanical work. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical for a five-year-old vehicle. From the 5 November 2024 assessment at 16,229 miles to the 23 October 2025 test at 20,167 miles the odometer advanced only 3,938 miles across eleven months. That equates to roughly 4,033 miles per annum since first registration, confirming light duty or prolonged storage. The official record remains sparse but spotless, with no gaps beyond standard annual testing and no sudden distance spikes that might accelerate drivetrain fatigue. No recurring faults or structural warnings appear in the DVSA data, yet a physical pre-purchase inspection remains prudent. The tester flagged no binding rear calipers, corroded subframes or worn suspension bushes, but low-use plug-in hybrids can harbour stagnant brake discs and degraded rubber mounts invisible during a static test. Examine coil springs for snapping, check brake disc faces for pitting, and scrutinise chassis legs for surface rust. Tyre tread may read legal yet sidewalls often suffer cracking from standing; confirm date codes and overall elasticity before commitment.
