Finished in a smart, modern colour that actually looks good, this Ford Kuga comes packing a smooth 6-speed manual gearbox — because yes, some of us still like to be in control. It delivers a drive that’s confident, refined, and surprisingly frugal on fuel. None of that guzzling nonsense here. Inside, you’ve got the essentials done right: air conditioning to keep you cool when the sun decides to show up, DAB radio so your ears don’t suffer, Bluetooth connectivity to keep your phone out of the way, rear parking sensors so you don’t crush the neighbour’s hedge, a quick-clear heated windscreen to save you five minutes in winter, and 16-inch alloy wheels that actually look the part. This Kuga’s had the royal treatment, with a comprehensive service history ticking over at 4,248, 10,320, 23,240, 30,131, and 40,907 miles, right up to today. That means it’s been looked after better than most people look after themselves. Boot space? Generous enough for all your luggage, shopping, or whatever else you throw in there. Flexible rear seats mean you can switch it up between cargo and passengers without a drama. And, of course, it’s a Ford — built tough and reliable, ready to handle anything from school runs to the daily commute without complaint.
