FORD PUMA ST-LINE MHEV2022 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a valid roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 5 September 2025 at 22,431 miles. The presence of a minor exhaust leak at the flexi section indicates a developing mechanical concern that requires monitoring. While the car passed the inspection, this specific advisory suggests the exhaust system is beginning to show early signs of fatigue despite the relatively low age of the vehicle. The recorded mileage of 22,431 miles over four years averages approximately 5,608 miles per annum. This usage pattern is significantly lower than the national average, suggesting the vehicle has been subjected to light duty or frequent short-distance trips. Such low-mileage profiles can sometimes lead to issues associated with infrequent use, such as seized brake components or battery degradation, rather than the high-wear mechanical fatigue typically seen in high-mileage examples. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the exhaust flexi section to determine if the leak has progressed since the last test. Given the low annual mileage, verify the condition of the brake discs and pads for signs of surface corrosion or binding, which often occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Inspect the suspension components and tyres for any uneven wear patterns that might indicate alignment issues or prolonged inactivity. The overall mechanical condition appears stable, but the exhaust system remains the primary point of concern for future maintenance.
