Should you buy a used Ford Kuga St-line Edition TDCI?

The Ford Kuga St-line Edition TDCI has an overall MOT pass rate of 96.3% across 188 real MOT tests — comfortably above the UK average, which puts it among the more reliable models on UK roads.

A typical Ford Kuga St-line Edition TDCI owner drives around 8,806 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
