2021 Ford Kuga Titanium Frst Ed PHEV CVT
CarHunch analysed 317 real MOT records for the 2021 Ford Kuga Titanium Frst Ed PHEV CVT. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Ford Kuga PHEV is a strong performer in the MOT booth, with a 94.1% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%—and only 4.4% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. This is a relatively young cohort running at modest mileage (median 29,159 miles), so it's too early to draw firm conclusions about long-term durability, but the early signs are genuinely positive.
When failures do occur, they're infrequent (0.18 per vehicle on average), and advisories are routine rather than alarming (1.5 per vehicle), suggesting the hybrid powertrain is behaving itself so far. If you're considering one, check the service history carefully to confirm the hybrid battery has been properly maintained, as that's where these vehicles can surprise owners with bills later on.
What to check before buying a 2021 Ford Kuga Titanium Frst Ed PHEV CVT
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.
