Why is my Ford Kuga's engine overheating and how can I prevent it?

I recently purchased my Ford Kuga and have noticed that the engine has been overheating during longer drives. I'm worried about potential damage to the engine and want to know how I can prevent this from happening.

One common cause of engine overheating in Ford Kuga's is a low coolant level. Make sure to check your coolant levels before long drives and top off if needed.

Another possible cause of overheating is a faulty thermostat. You may need to have it replaced by a mechanic to prevent any further issues.
