The FORD KUGA (2008-13) 5DR SUV 2.0 TDCI DPF 136 ZETEC is a five-door compact SUV, giving buyers a higher driving position and a practical alternative to a family hatchback. It sits among family crossovers, competing with cars such as the Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen Tiguan, with a rugged look. Its 2.0-litre diesel engine suits commuting, longer journeys and family trips, while the raised cabin and five-door layout make everyday access straightforward for family life. Zetec trim also offers a comfort-focused specification, and the Kuga is often chosen by drivers wanting SUV presence without moving to a much larger vehicle. Mycarcheck.com has 1,959 look-ups across 992 distinct VINs for this version, a substantial sample. Its checks show an average private-sale valuation of £2,600, average mileage of 118,000 and about four previous keepers. These figures offer useful context, but each Kuga’s condition, service history and price should be judged individually and carefully.
