2021 Ford Puma ST-Line X Mhev 1.0L Petrol · AO21 FDG

A spotless MOT record to date indicates that, across the documented testing period, no safety‑critical defects have been recorded on this 2021 Ford Puma ST‑Line X MHEV, with the most recent assessment on 10 March 2026 confirming a pass and no advisory notes. The absence of any reported failures or cautions suggests that, at least up to that point, the vehicle’s essential systems—brakes, lights, emissions, suspension and structural integrity—met the statutory standards. At 26 375 miles after roughly five years of service the annual average mileage works out to about 5 300 miles per year, which is well below the typical UK usage pattern for a small SUV. Such low cumulative distance generally translates to reduced wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyre tread and clutch components, but it may also imply periods of limited use or extended storage. Potential long‑term parking can promote tyre flat‑spotting, battery discharge and the gradual stiffening of rubber bushings, so a visual inspection of tyre condition and a functional check of the 12 V system are prudent. Even though the MOT report lists no faults, a thorough pre‑purchase test drive should still verify the condition of the suspension and steering assemblies that are not always highlighted unless they breach limits. Listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps that could point to worn lower arm bushes or deteriorating anti‑roll bar links, and feel for any wandering or pull to one side that might reveal alignment drift or uneven tyre wear. When applying the brakes, note whether the pedal feels firm and consistent without pulsation, which would indicate healthy disc and pad wear; any judder could hint at latent disc warping not yet caught by the MOT. Finally, confirm that the vehicle’s tyre tread depth meets the legal minimum and that the sidewalls show no signs of cracking, especially if the car has spent time idle. Check the exhaust for excessive smoke or unusual noises, and ensure all lights, indicators and the windscreen wipers operate correctly. While the MOT history shows no recorded defects, these practical checks will help you verify that the low‑mileage usage has not concealed emerging wear on components that are only inspected visually during the test.
