Question 1

Which used Ford Kuga generation is best?

Accepted Answer

The third generation, from 2020, is the only one with full and plug-in hybrids and the most economical. The second, sold until 2019, offers petrol and diesel engines and four-wheel drive for less.

Question 2

Is a used Ford Kuga plug-in hybrid safe to buy?

Accepted Answer

Early cars were recalled to fix battery cells that could overheat, so check that the recall work was completed. A Ford dealer can confirm it from the registration number.

Question 3

Is the Ford Puma a good used SUV?

Accepted Answer

The Puma, launched in 2019, drives much like the Fiesta it is based on and has a deep storage well under the boot floor. Most have the 1.0 EcoBoost mild-hybrid petrol engine.

Question 4

Does a used Ford Mustang Mach-E pay the expensive car supplement?

Accepted Answer

Not if it was registered before April 2025: an electric car registered from April 2017 to March 2025 pays £200 a year and never the supplement. Later ones pay it in years two to six above a £50,000 list price.

Accepted Answer

The Puma with mild-hybrid petrol engines or as the electric Puma Gen-E, and the Kuga as a 1.5 EcoBoost petrol, a full hybrid or a plug-in hybrid. The Explorer, Capri and Mustang Mach-E are electric, with up to 375 PS in the Mach-E.
