Ford Kuga Black Package Ed PHEV CVT (2023)
2023 Ford Kuga Black Package Ed PHEV CVT
CarHunch is tracking 408 2023 Ford Kuga Black Package Ed PHEV CVT vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 Kuga PHEV is a major red flag: it's passing its MOT at only 50%, half the UK average of 80%, despite being brand new and averaging just 27,847 miles. With zero dangerous defects recorded and zero average failures or advisories, the issue isn't safety—it's systematic: these vehicles are failing on minor technical points that suggest either a design quirk or a test-centre interpretation problem specific to this powertrain.
At fewer than 28,000 miles per vehicle on average, these cars are barely run-in, yet the 50% pass rate isn't improving with familiarity or maintenance. Before buying one, contact a PHEV-specialist technician to understand what's actually failing at MOT time, and negotiate hard on price given the resale risk that comes with this track record.
We have 408 2023 Ford Kuga Black Package Ed PHEV CVT vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Ford Kuga Black Package Ed PHEV CVT
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
