This 2021 Kuga Titan has a first-time pass rate of 91.1%, which sits well above the UK average of 80%, signalling solid reliability for a relatively young model. The dangerous defect rate of 6.6% is reassuringly low, so buyers shouldn't be concerned about hidden structural or safety issues in this cohort.

At an average mileage of 26,000 miles, these vehicles are lightly used for their age, which partly explains the strong MOT performance. With only 0.3 failures per vehicle against 1.8 advisories, most issues encountered are minor maintenance items rather than serious faults—when buying one used, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the advisory areas (likely wear items like brakes and suspension) and you'll have a reliable car.
