2021 Ford Puma ST-Line Vignale Mhev Auto 1.0L Petrol · L3 HEF

The vehicle presents a stable and improving mechanical trajectory, culminating in a completely clean MOT on 2026-06-03 at 37,493 miles with zero defects recorded. Earlier tests revealed minor consumable wear, but the absence of any advisories or failures in the most recent examination indicates that immediate attention was paid to the flagged items. The trend is resolving, moving from minor tyre and brake disc wear to a fully compliant state. Accumulating 37,493 miles over five years equates to roughly 7,499 miles annually, a typical figure for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation, with 6,611 miles covered between the November 2024 test at 24,430 miles and the November 2025 test at 31,041 miles, followed by a further 6,452 miles over the subsequent seven months to the June 2026 test. This consistent usage pattern suggests regular driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which benefits the MHEV system and prevents the drying out of seals often seen on stationary cars. Despite the clean 2026 result, the recurring nature of edge wear on the front tyres warrants a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The tester flagged the Nearside Front inner edge in November 2024 and the Offside Front edge in November 2025, suggesting possible misalignment or worn suspension bushes that may still be present despite the recent pass. Buyers should closely examine the inner sidewalls of the front tyres for uneven wear patterns. The Offside Rear Outer Brake disc was noted as worn and pitted in November 2024, so checking the condition of the rear braking components, including caliper slide pins for binding, remains prudent. A thorough underbody inspection for corrosion is also advisable, given the vehicle's age and the potential for surface deterioration on the exhaust system and subframe.
