Ford Kuga Vignale (2021)
2021 Ford Kuga Vignale
CarHunch analysed 145 real MOT records for the 2021 Ford Kuga Vignale. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Ford Kuga Vignale is a genuinely reliable proposition—its 96.6% first-time pass rate sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 0.7% of vehicles analysed have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is negligible. Petrol versions (which make up the vast majority here) achieve a 97.4% pass rate, so fuel type isn't a meaningful consideration for this cohort.
These cars are running light mileage for their age, averaging just 24,536 miles, which partly explains the strong reliability picture—but the real insight is that failures are exceptionally rare at 0.08 per vehicle, while advisories average 1.3, typically minor wear items rather than structural concerns. When shopping for a 2021 Kuga Vignale, ask the seller for a full MOT history to confirm consistent passes, and factor in that these are low-mileage examples where you'll likely need only routine servicing for several years yet.
What to check before buying a 2021 Ford Kuga Vignale
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.
