Looking at a 72 plate Kuga

Hi there, as the title suggests I'm looking at a 72 plate Ford Kuga.

Just wanted to see if this is a good option to go for. It's a 2.5 duratec plug in hybrid automatic with just over 62k on the clock.

I'm looking to move on from my Ford Focus Active 1.5 Eco blue. While I love the Focus, I'm getting fed up with the DPF as I'm doing less longer journeys than I thought I would with work. My commute is just 3 miles, so eventually I will kill the car.

So, after driving nothing but diesels for the last 22 years, I'm moving over to petrol.

Is this age of Kuga good? I had a MK1 and loved the thing, but it was obviously a bit more basic.

Is the autobox on these good? I can't go back to a manual after getting used to my Focus being an auto.

Is the engine good? I have a feeling most of my commutes will actually be under battery power since it's so short and this is stated as a range of 39 miles.

Any info or input is appreciated.

Thanks in advance folks.

    No. The Kuga PHEV is horribly unreliable.
