2022 Ford Kuga ST-Line X ED Phev CVT 2.5L Hybrid electric · YN71 OKO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in basic maintenance standards. While the February 2026 test at 33,891 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit with noted uneven edge wear. This suggests that while the mechanical components remain functional, routine consumable upkeep has been neglected in recent intervals compared to the clean record seen in February 2025. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for a hybrid vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between the February 2025 test at 26,476 miles and the February 2026 test at 33,891 miles, the vehicle covered 7,415 miles. This steady rate of use suggests no excessive strain on the drivetrain or suspension system, and the lack of defects in the previous year indicates that the structural and primary mechanical systems remained stable to date. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to determine if the uneven wear on the offside tyre is caused by an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The tester's note regarding the rear child seat preventing a full inspection of the adult seat belts means the buyer must manually verify the tension and locking mechanisms to ensure they are not frayed or obstructed. Given the low mileage and hybrid nature, checking the brake discs for surface corrosion is also advisable, as regenerative braking can sometimes lead to surface rust if the vehicle is not used frequently.
