2019 Ford Kuga ST Line Edition Tdci
CarHunch analysed 120 real MOT records for the 2019 Ford Kuga ST Line Edition Tdci. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2019 Ford Kuga ST-Line TDCI falls slightly below the UK average with a 75.4% first-time pass rate versus the national 80%, suggesting a modest reliability gap—though the complete absence of dangerous defects across all 120 vehicles tested is reassuring for safety-conscious buyers. The diesel engine shows no particular weakness here, and the median mileage of 45,036 is entirely typical for a five-year-old model.
Where this Kuga stands out is in its exceptional cleanliness: almost no failures or advisories per vehicle (0.03 and 0.0 respectively) tells you that when these cars do fail their MOT, it's minor stuff. Before buying, inspect the service history carefully and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the diesel fuel system and emissions kit, as even rare issues on these engines can be costly.
What to check before buying a 2019 Ford Kuga ST Line Edition Tdci
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.
