Ford Kuga Vignale HEV CVT (2023)
2023 Ford Kuga Vignale HEV CVT
CarHunch is tracking 1,123 2023 Ford Kuga Vignale HEV CVT vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 Ford Kuga Vignale HEV is failing its first MOT at an alarming rate: only 6.4% pass first time, compared to the UK average of 80%. With 0.1% of vehicles flagged for dangerous defects, the issue here isn't safety—it's systemic quality control, suggesting these vehicles arrive at test with preventable faults like lights, wipers, or fluid levels unchecked.
At a median 15,366 miles, these Kugas are still relatively new and low-mileage, yet the near-zero failure count (0.01 per vehicle) once corrected indicates the problems are minor rather than mechanical. The rock-bottom advisory rate of zero per vehicle suggests Ford or dealers are addressing issues before test rather than leaving them as warnings—but buyers should factor in repair costs from that initial failed test before purchase, and insist on a full pre-delivery inspection if buying from stock.
We have 1,123 2023 Ford Kuga Vignale HEV CVT vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Ford Kuga Vignale HEV 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.
