2025 Ford Puma Titanium Mhev Auto 1.0L Hybrid electric · AP25 FHA

At the time of writing, no DVSA MOT test history is available for this 2025 Ford Puma Titanium MHEV automatic, which is entirely expected given that the vehicle is only one year old and would not ordinarily become subject to compulsory MOT testing until it reaches three years of age. Because there are no recorded test outcomes, advisories, or failure points to evaluate, it is not possible to comment on any established maintenance trend or to identify recurring defect patterns from the official record. The absence of MOT data at this stage should therefore be regarded as neutral rather than negative, reflecting the vehicle's youth in the testing cycle rather than any omission or concern regarding its roadworthiness. The prospective purchaser will need to rely instead on physical inspection, pre-delivery or service records from the supplying dealer, and any manufacturer warranty documentation to satisfy themselves as to the car's mechanical state. Recorded mileage data has not been supplied, and with no MOT history available there is no baseline against which to compare annual usage. As a 2025 model fitted with the mild hybrid 48 volt MHEV powertrain, the vehicle is designed to operate efficiently across a wide spectrum of annual mileages, but it is worth noting that very low usage can be as mechanically consequential as excessively high mileage. Infrequent running tends to promote oil degradation through moisture accumulation, brake disc corrosion from standing, and 12 volt battery depletion, all of which are relevant considerations even on a car of this age. Equally, the MHEV system's lithium ion battery pack and its associated 48 volt architecture benefit from regular use to maintain cell health and to prevent the kind of calibration drift that can arise after prolonged standing periods. Given the lack of MOT data and the vehicle's age, the prospective buyer should concentrate on several practical age and calendar related inspection points rather than chasing specific wear defects. Externally, the tyres should be examined closely for sidewall perishing and cracking, as even lightly used tyres degrade through age rather than mileage, and the production date code on the sidewall should be checked to confirm the rubber is recent stock. The brake discs, being prone to surface corrosion when a vehicle is stored or used only intermittently, should be inspected for any binding calipers or uneven pad deposits, while a test drive on a quiet road should confirm smooth retardation without shudder. The 12 volt auxiliary battery should be load tested where possible, as a vehicle of this age that has stood on a forecourt for some months may exhibit reduced state of charge, and any warning messages relating to the hybrid system should be noted and investigated. Finally, although the powertrain remains within its manufacturer warranty and the first scheduled service interval may not yet have been reached, a buyer should still verify that any pre delivery inspection has been completed and that the vehicle is supplied with its full service book and digital service record. Time based servicing items such as engine oil and oil filter, brake fluid, and cabin filter should be confirmed as current, as these degrade by calendar age rather than mileage, and the MHEV system's coolant circuit and high voltage cabling should be visually inspected for any signs of chafe, rodent damage, or coolant staining. During the test drive, listen for any irregular idle behaviour, transmission hesitation on the automatic gearbox, or unexpected activation of the auto start stop system, all of which could hint at underlying hybrid system concerns. A pre purchase inspection by a Ford approved technician or an independent hybrid competent garage remains the most prudent course of action in the absence of any MOT history to lean upon.
