FORD PUMA1998 · 1.7L PETROL

The most recent MOT record for this vehicle is from May 2009, which means there is a significant lack of recent testing history to confirm its current safety or roadworthiness. With 86,817 miles over approximately 28 years, the vehicle has been driven very little, averaging around 3,101 miles per year. While this low mileage suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also carries the risk that the car has been stationary for long periods, which can lead to seized components and perished rubber parts. The historical data reveals a recurring pattern of issues with the braking system and suspension. The parking brake efficiency was noted as being borderline or failing between 2007 and 2008, and the suspension has seen multiple faults including a worn Macpherson strut, deteriorated CV gaiters, and movement in a wishbone bush. The condition trend appears to be worsening based on the final recorded entries, which included a major exhaust leak, lighting failures, and the use of incorrect tyre sizes on the same axle. You should prioritize a thorough inspection of the exhaust system, the condition of all suspension bushes and CV gaiters, the effectiveness of both the service and parking brakes, and the age and matching sizes of the tyres.
