The FORD KUGA (2008-13) 5DR SUV AWD 2.0 TDCI DPF 136 ZETEC is a compact, five-door family SUV, offering a higher driving position and more room than a hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among practical all-rounders such as the Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen Tiguan, with four-wheel drive adding reassurance on slippery roads. It is suited to families, commuters and drivers who want cabin space, a versatile boot and confidence for country lanes or winter journeys. The 2.0-litre diesel is designed for longer trips, while Zetec trim gives this Kuga a sensible, well-equipped feel. Its raised stance and composed road manners make it an approachable alternative to a larger, thirstier 4x4. mycarcheck.com has recorded 2,588 checks covering 1,153 distinct Kugas, a substantial sample. Its data shows average mileage of 119,000, annual use of 6,000 miles, about four to five previous keepers and an average private-sale valuation of £2,500.
