The FORD KUGA (2012-17) 5DR SUV AWD 1.6 T ECOBOOST SS 180 EU5 ZETEC AUTO6 is a five-door, petrol-powered family SUV, sitting in the popular mid-size crossover market. Its raised driving position, automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive make it a practical alternative to a conventional family hatchback, especially for varied journeys. Mycarcheck.com logged 19 checks across eight distinct vehicles, a useful snapshot but not a full reliability verdict. Average recorded mileage was 71,000, with about 5,000 miles driven yearly; average private-sale value was £7,400. Cars had around 2.6 previous keepers on average, so check each vehicle’s history, condition and service records. This Kuga suits families needing space and comfort, commuters wanting an easy-going automatic, and drivers seeking extra traction in poor weather. Its lively turbo petrol engine and composed road manners make it engaging. Compared with a Nissan Qashqai, it offers all-wheel-drive capability; check fuel use and running costs before buying.
