2021 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric · YL71 HHV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on the available DVSA data. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 December 2025 at 29,339 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend since the previous test in December 2024 at 20,501 miles also yielded no failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,868 miles per annum. Between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests, the car covered 8,838 miles, suggesting a recent increase in usage above the historical average. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on high-stress components such as the engine, suspension bushings, and CVT drivetrain elements, though low-speed driving can occasionally lead to flat spotting on tyres if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Since the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults, a physical inspection should focus on components typically affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check for signs of corrosion on brake discs, which can occur when a vehicle is not frequently used to clear rust. The condition of the rubber seals and suspension components should also be verified, as age-related degradation can occur independently of low mileage figures. Verifying the hybrid battery health and cooling system remains are also essential steps for this PHEV powertrain to ensure long-term reliability.
