This 2022 Kuga is a strong performer at the MOT, with a 96.1% first-time pass rate that's well above the 80% UK average—a sign of solid build quality and owner care. The dangerous defect rate of just 1.3% is reassuringly low, so you're not looking at a cohort with systemic safety issues.

The advisory list averaging 0.6 items per car suggests routine wear rather than emerging problems—when you're shopping for one, a full service history and a clean pre-purchase inspection should be your main focus.

The 2022 Ford Kuga ST Line X Ecoblue 4x4 A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (97% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
