FORD PUMA ST-LINE X MHEV2021 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy condition following a clean MOT pass on March 28, 2026, 24,798 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the mechanical failures identified in early 2024 have been addressed and rectified. The most recent inspection shows no recorded defects, indicating that the owner took action to perform necessary repairs to bring the car back to standard after its previous failure. At approximately 24,800 miles over five years, the mileage is significantly low, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to minor issues like brake corrosion if the vehicle sits for long periods. Between the 2025 test at 21,049 miles and the March 2026 test, the car covered approximately 3,750 miles, maintaining a consistent and light usage pattern that limits the risk of mileage-related degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension to ensure the offside rear shock absorber that failed in April 2024 was replaced correctly and currently shows no signs of renewed leakage. The record also noted pitted and scored rear brake discs at 17,852 miles; while these were likely replaced or serviced following the failure, a visual check of the current disc surfaces for uneven wear or thinning is advisable. Given the 2025 advisory note regarding a child seat obstructing a full inspection of the adult seat belt, the buyer should verify that all belt tensioning mechanisms are functioning correctly without fraying or damage.
