Tl;Dr do I tell buyers that the kitchen is shit or let them find out after buying it?
They'll find out before they buy it, probably.
I also reckon that unless you pitch the place as 'newly renovated with state of the art kitchen' by not telling them you aren't doing anything dishonest; buyers don't expect the stuff that comes with the place to last forever.
Now if you have a crack-den-hive-dealership next door that you've reported to the police it would be unethical not to disclose it to the buyers. Some people hide that shit, too.

We are selling out flat soon, but our kitchen has half the doors off the cupboards (the doors are fine, but the carcass they attach to is shite and the hinges tore out)
I am going to put a dowel down the side and drill through and make it work (bodge of the highest order, that will probably not last too long) now the ethical thing is to tell any prospective buyers that the kitchen needs refitting but we are concious of losing £££ on the sale price. The bathroom is also dated, so there is scope for them to barter on the price, if they are inclined.
