2022 Ford Puma ST-Line Vignale Mhev 1.0L Petrol · YR72 AAK

The vehicle has successfully passed its most recent MOT examination on 27 August 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a positive trend in the vehicle maintenance history, as the previous test in 2025 carried a minor advisory regarding tyre wear that has since been rectified. The current absence of faults suggests the vehicle is being maintained to a satisfactory standard and is presently roadworthy. With a recorded mileage of 22,554 miles over approximately four years, this Ford Puma has covered an average of 5,638 miles per year. This is considerably lower than the national average for this vehicle type. While low mileage typically results in reduced wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components, it can also indicate periods of prolonged inactivity, which introduces a different set of mechanical considerations regarding the degradation of rubber components and fluid stability. Given the low annual usage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres beyond simple tread depth. You should examine the sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, which occurs when vehicles stand for extended periods. Although the previous advisory for edge wear on the nearside front tyre has been cleared, it is advisable to check for uneven wear patterns across all four tyres during the test drive, as this could indicate a lingering wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Particular attention should be paid to the braking system and electrical health. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, and listen for any sticking or binding calipers during deceleration. As this is a mild hybrid vehicle, ensure the 12V battery is holding a strong charge and that there are no warning lights related to the MHEV system. Finally, verify the service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed based on time intervals rather than mileage alone, as engine oil degrades over time regardless of the distance travelled.
