2026 Ford Puma Select EV Electric · AP75 LFS

The 2026 Ford Puma Select EV has no recorded DVSA MOT history, which means there is no prior test data to evaluate maintenance trends or track the progression of any defects over time. Without an MOT record, it is impossible to determine whether the vehicle has undergone consistent servicing, whether wear patterns are stable or deteriorating, or if there are recurring issues that could indicate underlying mechanical or electrical problems. The absence of historical data also prevents assessment of whether the vehicle has been subjected to aggressive driving, neglect, or environmental exposure that could accelerate component failure. Since the mileage is not provided, it is not possible to accurately gauge annual usage rates or whether the vehicle has accumulated significant mileage in a short period, which could suggest high-stress operation or potential wear issues. Without mileage data, we cannot assess whether the vehicle has been driven at a pace that might lead to premature wear on components such as the electric motor, battery management system, suspension elements, or braking systems. Additionally, the lack of a known usage profile means there is no basis to compare against typical wear rates for this model year, which could reveal whether the vehicle has been maintained to industry standards or if there are signs of underuse that might lead to calendar-based degradation of fluids or components. Given the absence of an MOT history, the buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection to address critical roadworthiness and longevity concerns. First, examine the tyres for signs of sidewall cracking or perishing, which can occur even with low mileage due to age-related degradation of the rubber compound. Check the vehicle’s battery health, as the Puma Select EV’s electric powertrain relies heavily on the battery pack and its management system; a failing 12V auxiliary battery or inverter issues could lead to electrical gremlins or reduced range. Inspect the suspension for binding calipers, corrosion on brake discs, or excessive play in coil springs or suspension bushes, which may indicate standing corrosion or wear from infrequent use. Pay particular attention to the exhaust system for leaks or structural integrity, as prolonged disuse can cause condensation to corrode components, and the vehicle’s emissions-related systems may require attention if it has been idle for extended periods. For fluid servicing, the buyer should verify the condition of the brake fluid, transmission fluid (if applicable), and coolant, as these fluids degrade over time regardless of mileage. Check for any visible leaks under the vehicle, particularly around the electric motor, drivetrain, and fluid reservoirs, as standing fluids can accelerate corrosion. A test drive should include monitoring for unusual noises such as clunks from suspension components, grinding from brakes, or electrical whining from the motor or inverter. Additionally, the vehicle’s software and firmware should be updated to the latest version, as outdated systems may lead to performance issues or reduced efficiency. If the vehicle has been in storage for a prolonged period, it is advisable to run it through a full diagnostic check to ensure all electrical systems are functioning correctly and that no latent issues have developed from disuse.
