Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Ford Kuga ST Line Ecoblue MHEV?

Based on MOT data from 224 vehicles, the 2022 Ford Kuga ST Line Ecoblue MHEV has a first-time MOT pass rate of 95.1%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Ford Kuga ST Line Ecoblue MHEV?
