2001 Ford Puma 1.7L Petrol · X182 BBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT record indicates a history of failure at the 2023 test, suggesting the mechanical condition may have deteriorated since that date. The 2023-12-05 test passed at 87,151 miles, whereas the 2023-11-29 test failed at 87,149 miles, demonstrating that the vehicle has not been maintained for over three years in a single test and that the 2023 inspection was likely conducted under reduced conditions or with a different driver's profile. The mileage trajectory is characterized by significant gaps between the two most recent successful tests, with the 2022-12-05 test passing at 76,730 miles and the 2022-11-24 test failing at 76,727 miles. This pattern suggests that the vehicle has undergone rapid mileage accumulation since the 2022-12-05 test, where the 2022-11-24 failure at 76,727 miles indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained for over two years in a single test. The 2021-11-08 test passed at 66,410 miles, which represents the earliest test date, but the gap between the 2021-11-08 and 2022-12-05 tests is substantial, highlighting a lack of consistent maintenance over the past two years. Given the failure at the 2023 test and the rapid mileage accumulation since then, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural and mechanical risks, particularly focusing on suspension bushings, coil springs, and binding calipers. The history of a failed MOT at 87,149 miles suggests that the vehicle may have experienced suspension issues or binding calipers, which would require immediate professional diagnosis. The 2023-12-05 test at 87,151 miles was the most recent test, and the 2023-11-29 failure at 87,149 miles indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained for over three years in a single test, making it highly probable that the 2023 inspection was conducted under reduced conditions or with a different driver's profile.
