2024 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · WV24 OAL

The 2024 Ford Kuga PHEV passed its most recent MOT on 5 November 2025 at 43,786 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a stable roadworthiness trend, as the vehicle has not failed any tests since its first MOT. The absence of repeated faults or advisories suggests that, at the time of testing, the major systems—brakes, suspension, exhaust, and electrical—were functioning within acceptable limits. However, the lack of a second MOT in the intervening period means there is no data to confirm whether any issues arose between tests. Buyers should treat this as a baseline rather than a guarantee of ongoing reliability. The recorded mileage of 43,786 miles over approximately 18 months—roughly 21,900 miles annually—is unusually high for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either intensive use or a lack of regular maintenance intervals, both of which could accelerate wear on components such as the CVT transmission, suspension bushes, and brake systems. The gap between the 2025 test and today (2026-07-25) is 8 months, meaning the vehicle has accumulated an additional 6,000 miles without an MOT check. While this does not inherently indicate failure, it raises questions about whether routine servicing has been consistent. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items. The CVT transmission, given the high mileage, should be assessed for fluid condition and unusual noise under acceleration. Suspension components—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—will have experienced significant stress and should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion. Brakes, though not flagged in the MOT, warrant scrutiny, especially the rear calipers and discs, which may have been subject to binding or uneven wear if the vehicle was driven aggressively. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel bearing condition, should also be verified, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but critical in high-mileage examples.
