This 2021 Kuga is a reliable performer, with 92.5% of vehicles passing their MOT first time—well above the UK average of 80%—and only 6.5% ever flagged for dangerous defects, which is reassuringly low. The diesel engine is proving dependable across the board.
At 30,000 miles median, these cars are showing typical wear for their age, and the average of just 0.23 failures per vehicle suggests most owners aren't facing major repair bills. The 1.9 advisories per car are mostly minor niggles, so when you're shopping for one, focus your inspection on brakes and suspension items flagged in past tests, then you'll know what to budget for.
What to check before buying a 2021 Ford Kuga Titanium Ed Eblue MHEV
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.
