Based on Brumble analysis of DVSA's 2025 MOT test year data noting larger, newer Ford SUV models perform meaningfully above the brand's 68.7% overall average.

What to know

The Kuga is specifically called out in the underlying DVSA data analysis as one of Ford's stronger-performing models, sitting meaningfully above the brand's overall 68.7% average, unlike the smaller Fiesta and Focus, which both test below it.

The Kuga is available across an unusually wide range of powertrains for a Ford, including a plug-in hybrid, worth checking specifically which version a used example is, since running costs and green zone compliance vary between them.
