2024 Ford Puma ST-Line X Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric · AP24 FCF

The DVSA records show that this 2024 Ford Puma ST‑Line X MHEV has no MOT history on file, meaning there is no documented test outcome to reference and consequently no trend—stable, worsening or improving—to assess from previous inspections. Without a recorded pass, fail or advisory, the vehicle’s compliance with the statutory safety and emissions standards cannot be confirmed from the MOT database alone. Mileage for the vehicle is not supplied, so a direct comparison with its four‑year age is impossible. A typical 2024 model in the UK would be expected to accumulate roughly 8‑12,000 miles per annum, giving an average of about 30‑45,000 miles by 2026. If the odometer reads significantly below this range it may indicate limited use, which can lead to age‑related deterioration such as rubber hardening, corrosion of brake components, or battery electrolyte stratification. Conversely, an unusually high reading would suggest intensive use and would raise concerns about wear on the suspension, drivetrain and hybrid battery cycles. In either case, the buyer should obtain a verifiable service book, any dealer‑issued mileage stamps and, where possible, a full vehicle‑history report to corroborate the recorded distance. Given the absence of MOT data and the uncertainty surrounding mileage, the prospective purchaser should conduct a thorough visual and tactile inspection focused on age‑related degradation. Examine all four tyres for sidewall cracking, tread separation and check the DOT code to confirm they are not older than six years; aged tyres can lose elasticity even if tread depth appears adequate. Inspect the 12‑volt battery terminals for corrosion and test the state of charge, as batteries left idle for long periods can suffer sulphation. Look for signs of fluid leakage around the engine bay, especially coolant, brake fluid and the hybrid inverter coolant lines, and verify that the brake discs are free of deep rust pitting or scoring that can cause shudder under braking. Check the under‑carriage for rust on suspension mounting points, chassis brackets and exhaust hangers, as prolonged standing can accelerate corrosion on a relatively new vehicle. On the road, listen for any clunk, squeak or knock that may indicate worn suspension bushes, loose ball joints or deteriorated coil springs, and feel for any pull or vibration that could point to uneven tyre wear or misaligned steering geometry. Test the regenerative braking system and electric motor response for smooth engagement and observe whether any warning lights illuminate on the instrument cluster, particularly those relating to the hybrid battery, inverter or emissions control. Finally, arrange for a qualified pre‑purchase inspection that includes a diagnostic scan of the hybrid control modules, a battery health check, and a brake fluid pressure test; this will uncover hidden faults that the missing MOT record cannot reveal and give the buyer confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical roadworthiness.
