Median per year. New price: what the car cost new in the Netherlands, the RDW catalogue price (incl. VAT, BPM and factory options, without delivery costs). For cars imported used: the Dutch catalogue price of that version. Value kept: asking price divided by the car’s own new price. Drop per year: value kept against the next newer year; a plus means that year asks relatively more. Older cars have more miles, which is part of the drop. * Fewer than 5 cars: indicative only. Asking prices, not sale prices.
Who buys a used Ford Kuga?
The Kuga is Ford’s family SUV. The third generation (from 2019) was popular as a plug-in hybrid (2.5 PHEV) in lease fleets, helped by the low company-car tax rate at launch. So there are many young examples with full history. Buyers are families and caravan owners after space, comfort and an automatic; with the plug-in, also people who can charge at home.
On older Kugas, buyers look at the diesel engine, the four-wheel drive and the emission class. With the plug-in, they ask whether the high-voltage battery recall on earlier model years has been done, about the charging cable and the electric range. Since 2026 a plug-in pays full road tax on its full weight; use the road tax tool to see what a buyer pays. With a tow bar, spring is the best time to sell.

Four-wheel drive: wear in the rear-axle coupling
What does a buyer check on a used Kuga?
Proof that recalls have been done (ask the dealer)
Charging cable and electric range on the PHEV
Tow bar and maximum towing weight
Emission class on a diesel
How do you sell your Kuga for the best price?
1Ask a Ford dealer for a recall overview and add it to your ad
2State the maximum towing weight
3For an ex-lease Kuga, say whether it is a margin or VAT car
Not if it has been done. Buyers want to see that the dealer has completed the recall. Request an overview using your VIN and add it to the sale documents.
Is a Kuga PHEV a good caravan tow car?
For light to medium caravans. The PHEV’s towing capacity is lower than the diesels’. Look up the exact figure with the plate check.
Which sells better: a Kuga diesel or PHEV?
It depends on the buyer. Diesels with AWD appeal to caravan owners, the PHEV to people who charge at home. A young PHEV usually has the largest pool of buyers, if the price is right.
