2021 Ford Puma ST-Line X Mhev 1.0L Petrol · AP12 TMP

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 25 June 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous year, indicating an exceptionally stable maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded failures or warnings suggests that the car has been kept in a condition that meets or exceeds the minimum legal safety requirements without the need for corrective remedial work during its recent inspections. With a recorded mileage of 27,318 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,464 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average for a vehicle of this age. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the engine internals, gearbox, and suspension components, it also suggests the car may have spent extended periods stationary, which introduces a different set of mechanical considerations compared to a high-mileage example. Given the clean MOT history and low usage, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear. You must examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or fine cracking, as rubber compounds degrade over time regardless of tread depth. It is also critical to check the brake discs for surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to keep the braking surfaces clean and the pistons moving freely. Furthermore, ensure the service history confirms that oil and filter changes have been performed based on time intervals rather than just mileage, as engine lubricants degrade over time. Pay close attention to the health of the 12V battery, as low-use vehicles are more prone to deep discharge cycles which can shorten battery life, particularly in mild-hybrid systems. Finally, verify that the service book is stamped correctly to ensure that the low mileage has not been used as a justification for skipping essential preventative maintenance.
